Other Yikes. Apple needs to design a user replaceable battery iPhone by 2027! in the EU.

Providing consumers with more options is positive, but is it necessary to have a legislative entity to dictate that?

It's not even an option judging from the title. The sleek phones will no longer be available? We will be left with clumsy ones with more moving parts added?

The consumers won't gain more rights in this case. It's the opposite. They are losing their rights.

Makes sense to me. Anybody can tell Apple's Self Repair program for iPhone is clearly aimed at deterring actual self repair.

The program involves shipping 79 lb of tools to the customer. Apple literally ships the same bulky tools that ASPs get from China which are intended to process thousands of repairs per month. Jony Ive probably had nightmares seeing it the first time. You must also agree to a $1,300 credit card hold in the event you or the courier loses any of the tools. No end-user will choose to do this.

Ideally, legislation shouldn't be necessary, but in this case it really is.
