That would be great if we weren't past the point of phones having unremovable batteries... Too little too fucking late as always, Google.

The EU would like to have a talk with manufacturers about this... Much like USB C for iPhones, removable batteries are in the works again thanks to the EU.

I hope these changes affect the global supply chain, but I'm very skeptical that it's going to have any repercussions outside of the EU.

Maintaining multiple SKUs with major differences is quite expensive and time consuming, plus confusing for the customer on a global Internet trying to look things up. I expect that this would make at least some manufacturers ship these to other countries, so we would have some options.
