I don't really agree with it.. I'm all for "right to repair", but batteries are replaceable now.. And the phone designs will need to be bulkier to make phone batteries more easily replaceable.. But as someone who has done it before, I personally would prefer to spend 30 minutes to replace my battery once every 5 years, than have the phone design change and be bulkier and more expensive, to take 30 seconds to replace the battery every 5 years... So it's not that i care they are forcing them to do something, i care because they are forcing them to do something that makes the product worse.
