EU works on new 'Right to Repair' rules for sustainable batteries

The European Union is moving closer to enacting a law that will not just require smartphones like the iPhone to have easier battery repairs, but it will also mandate how much of a battery must be reclaimable after recycling.

    Oh maybe that’s why apple made the iPhone 14 (but not the 14 pro) able to be opened from the front or the back. Better to have a working solution before a law is passed than have to scramble afterwards.

      Either that or they were hoping it would discourage the EU from passing a repair law like this. In such a scenario, Apple would go right back to making less-repairable phones once the storm had passed.
