And what about phones with a removable battery? Would be real nice to keep a couple spares instead of a big power brick I have to charge it from.
Yeah, I love my XCover Pro for this.
you will never see that happen again. they need phones to be disposable
Batteries for phones sold in the EU will all be replaceable within 3.5 years:

The EU actually forced companies to help consumers, so they are already planning to comply... even Apple.
Would be good if they also force companies to support security updates for more that 5 years...
I don't need to change phone. I like my S10+. It does what I need. But I feel I'll have to change it soonish if I want to continue using for online banking etc.
