Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That's far from the case today...
Not sure if that regulation is needed. Back when phone batteries were removable, there were quite a few options available. I remember Nokia genuine batteries being very expensive and it was easy to find third-party cheaper options. That’s kind of how it still works in digital cameras, although Nikon apparently is trying to stop 3rd-party batteries on their models
I’m fine with internal batteries, but please use some form of standard cell size and connector.
The EU already standarized chargers IIRC.

Yeah, even Apple has to comply
