I'd lowkey want to see how foldables do under this law

Yes, that will be interesting!

They may have to make them bigger or just rethink the designs.

They do have time, 4 years, 2027 right.

2027 is closer to 3 years, but yeah they still have time to think

Who says flexible batteries couldn't be made replaceable? The might have to attach it differently than using glue, but other than that, I don't see why it can't be replaceable. Additionally, replaceable does not have to mean that you can just click open a back cover and pull it out. It could also mean that you have to remove x number of screws to remove it, which is still fine.

Just have 2 smaller batteries instead. It is not difficult.
