I suspect some companys will absolutely use this as Marketing stunt " Look how customer friendly we are" cant wait for the Iphone advertisements that make it look like they invented it for the first time ( they advertised in germany still like 3 months ago that you can delete sent messages )
So likely some companys will Release way earlier phones with Removeable batterys is my guess
Probably. Now that it’s a legal requirement there may be a rush to be the first to offer it as a feature. Spin it so they’re doing this by choice for the consumer rather than being forced.
Yeah, that’s what happened when the EU banned mobile roaming charges while traveling within the EU. All the networks advertised it as if it was something they were choosing to do for the good of the customers. Of course, as soon as the UK left the EU, most of the networks have bought the charges back (including “Three” who had actually had free roaming for long before it was required)
