I genuinely find it astounding that you people find it so utterly incomprehensible that when it comes to designing these things, no choice is without downsides. As I said in the other comment, the idiot-proof standard the EU wants comes at a significant cost to space, and thus device size and battery life. And since I'm already equipped to (and have on multiple occasions) replaced batteries in devices that are meant to be sealed shit and serviced by technicians, I see exactly no benefit whatsoever from these regulations, only the downsides of bulkier devices and worse battery life.
You see no benefit? I see a huge benefit. I can replace my own battery when needed.
You don't want to see a benefit.
I'll gladly take a slightly larger device if it means I can replace my own battery. Make me able to replace the screen as well while we're at it. You know, all those things we used to be able to do in 2010... before they realized they can make more money if they force us to use their own service stations instead of allowing us to do it ourselves
And I can already do that with current devices.
Then you are in a small minority. Don't you think it would be good if it was easier so everyone could have that access?
