www.androidauthority.com It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027
Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.
TL;DR
- The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries.
- By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.
- The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.

The headline says it's official. But then the article mentions -
Now, the only step left is for the European Council and Parliament to sign on the dotted line.
So it's not official?? Can anyone explain please??
Proposed and introduced legislation, but not ratified?
The political analogy might be a bill that's been passed into the parliament, but the governor-general/president hasn't signed it yet.
Thanks.
Basically being merely a formality.
