Cellphone Chatter

Starting in 2027....by EU mandate....smartphones sold in the EU will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles. 

More?  Manufacturers must also ensure spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released

My take? Most companies have a 2 year cycle....expecting you to upgrade.  If the EU push occurs....prices will go 30 to 50 percent higher.  Buying outside of the EU?  I'd bet some do.
