MODERATORS
People vastly misinterpreted this EU ruling. Having pull tabs, or the new thing Apple is doing, is already enough to be in line with the requirements. Since the phones have water resistance, they are technically designed to work under water, thus they aren't required to have an easily accessible battery cover.
Eyeroll
Even my action cam has a swappable battery and is literally designed to be put underwater (probably even more than a phone).
Why. Can't. Laws. For. One. Time. Actually. Be. Useful.
Oh, so a device that offers no warranty in case of water damage (because you're not supposed to expose it to water) can use an IP certification as a loophole to completely avoid this law? That's not good
