It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:
The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.
It’ll also have third party apps. Wondering how hard it would be to import a European iphone into the US.
I’m not convinced of the benefits of allowing third party apps on the iPhone. I used to have a Galaxy and the store was full of shovelware.
Apps in the store are not “3rd party”.
