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
I wish these regulations would have shorter timeframes. It does not take 4 years to add a removeable battery. Decrease it to 2 years
Feel ya . but i guess they need to leave the companys time to plan new phones and processes and i guess the next line up is already pretty much done so they obviously cant force companys to scrap those
