Phones with user replaceable batteries do exist, but dont sell as well as those without it. Sealed phones dont prevent repair shops from being able to replace batteries. User replaceable batteries are bulkier, which means reduced capacity for a given size. If someone doesnt care about being able to replace batteries, theyd be forced to buy what theyd consider an inferior product. EU reason is for reducing e-waste. Problem is that someone replacing their battery at home is more likely to throw the battery into the trash than a reputable repair shop. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn.
