The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers.

My three iPhones were the only devices that had non-replaceable batteries. Every device before and after those had it including my current one; Samsung XCover 6Pro

Bought a xcover 4s for this reason, 3 years later it ended up dying for absolutely no reason. Battery is fine tho, even bought another to make sure that wasn’t it.

When you can’t test voltage because you have no idea what it’s supposed to be, it makes any réparation absolutely impossible (other than something visually broken)
