Smartphone technologies have made great advances in recent years. Along with these advances, there have been some important changes in terms of both design and usage. Examples of these are the increased camera numbers and the disappearing 3.5mm headphone jack. As it is known, batteries that used to be removable can no longer be removed. However, this may soon change, thanks to the European Union.
The European Union is changing smartphone standards!
In the past months, the European Union has come to the fore with Apple’s law to switch to the USB Type-C standard on its phones. With the adoption of this law, the company was given time until 28 December 2024 to implement the decision. The report was shared that the board took a new decision after this intervention.
According to the report, the European Union aims to return to the replaceable battery structure in smartphones. In other words, with this law, users will be able to replace your aging battery themselves.
The law will apply to all manufacturers, both IOS and Android phone companies. If the law goes into effect, users will no longer need to take their phones in for service for aging batteries, just like before. Or worries about the battery of an unused phone will be completely resolved.
However, there is a question in mind. Phones with removable batteries were generally thick devices and were not resistant to water. With the change of this understanding over time, phones have started to be thin in addition to resistance to water and dust. If the batteries of the phones are removable, can these durability features and design understanding continue in today’s technology? Or are we starting to see thicker devices like before? In short, it is not known for now whether such a step will be a plus or a minus.
