JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran says "we understand that some countries have been harmed by our actions in the Strait of Hormuz." "But they can blame the United States and Israel."


Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles. Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released. This is real pressure against planned obsolescence. It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up. About time.















Genuine question - why did companies stop making phones with removable batteries? Is there an actual technological reason or is it just another capitalism thing?
