The European Union is working on legislation that would require smartphone design to have easily replaceable batteries, but we doubt Apple would agree willingly.

      He seems mostly iPhones, and his experiences with pull tabs are similar to mine.

          Or simply avid that BS all together and hold batteries in place with screws and/or a simple metal slab holding it in place.

            If they can do that without increasing the phone’s size/thickness or compromising its performance and/or battery life, I’d be all for it.
