Nail new bill from the European Commission put this issue on the table, but the chances of it happening are extremely low.
After the iPhone swapped its Lightning connector for USB-C, third-party app stores were allowed, and NFC access was made available for payments other than Apple Pay, Apple is back in the spotlight of the European Union on the issue of batteries. The European body has proposed a law in which it wants users to be able to easily change the battery of their smartphone
Cuando era algo común en los smartphones de otras marcas tuvieran una batería que se podía reemplazar de form muy simple, quitando una tapa y cambiando el componentes necesidad de ninguna herramienta, el iPhone “rompió moldes” con baterías que no se podían cambiar sin llevarlos al technical service. As almost always happens, after the first criticisms and even the mockery of the rest of the manufacturers, they have all adopted the same measure.. Among the advantages of this design are the smaller size of the devices, its greater airtightness and the possibility of making designs with higher quality materials, such as glass. But this means that users have to go through a technical service to make the change.
Going through a technical service means a higher price to change the battery, but also a guarantee that the battery is original and that its installation is correct, without damaging other components when disassembling your smartphone. In the case of Apple Battery replacement prices are $55 in the case of the iPhone SE, 6, 7 and 8, $75 for an X, XS, XR, 11, 12 and 13, and $119 in the case of the iPhone 14
What does “easily edit” by user mean? Recall that Apple has already launched a “self-repair” program in which the user can acquire everything necessary to change the battery, the screen and the camera of the iPhone. Is it easy to accomplish this task? There are no welds to apply and the tools to do so are readily available. If a user wants to do it, he can do it, another thing is whether it is convenient or not, everyone must appreciate it. But what is very unlikely is that we will see an iPhone with a cover to change the battery.
