2·
2 years agoThe European Parliament also caused a major headache for all super small and wearables manufacturers too.
Well… It seems device manufacturers should have thought of that before starting shipping glued electronics 😊
No one likes to pay €80+ to replace their phone’s battery. Most of the times people just throw their devices away and buy new ones.
Or, for example, people just throw their €100+ airpods to the trash just because the battery isn’t “replaceable”.
Totally agree with EU’s position.
Was it?
So many years have passed since that phone came out.
Manufacturers had more than enough time to do something right besides just being water resistant.
