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...
This is great. I have the Fairphone 4, which does have a couple of issues, but the fact that the battery can be replaced will increase the usable lifespan of the phone.
I have a Pixel 2 used for messing about with Lineage, but the battery only lasts fifteen minutes, but is otherwise still a great phone. If it was easy enough to swap out that battery, I’d probably still be using it as my main.
I see a couple of other people talking about them in this thread too so I checked out their website and it seems like a great concept honestly but I’d like to know if any issues to possibly expect if you wouldn’t mind sharing.
I don’t believe they can provide firmware updates once the chipset loses support, which is bad for security. (The same also applies for every other manufacturer, but Fairphone claims to update their phones for a longer time).

What issues did you have with the Fairphone?
