TL;DR

  • The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries.
  • By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.
  • The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.

Now we just need headphone jacks and SD cards and lineageos support and my dream phone will be mandated.

I can get onboard with (micro) sd card slots. But honestly I'm fine with not having a headphone jack. I never used it anyway. And wireless earbuds are way more convenient anyway because you don't have a wire tethering your phone to your ears.

Edit: I should add that GrapheneOS is way more privacy-oriented and secure than LineageOS.

My YouTube premium downloads are on my sd card, which works out nicely.
