    Ya the only reason I get new phones is because the battery gets too weak. I could easily keep the same device for 5+ years if I could swap batteries

      The only reason I get new phones is cos OS updates stop flowing. That happens way before I notice any battery degradation. This law solves nothing.

            Samsung and Google support their current generation phones for five years. Apple supports theirs for seven years from when they’re last sold.

          Yes. $15 and an hour. You can bring in your own battery or pay ~$60 USD for an official one. It’s all very easy.

          This law won’t change shit. People are still going to dump their phone every 2 year.
