@EU_Commission How is that working with electric cars? How thier batteries get disposed?

@EU_Commission Mandatory 5 years of replacement batteries would be the right complement.
In addition, each device should still work without batteries, with wall outlets.
Surely standard form factors would be brilliant, as AA and AAA have done for more than a century. By the same criteria as USB-C will become mandatory.
Suggestions are in order of priority and simplicity of approval :mastoinnocent: :coolmsn: :crazy:

It is as naive as the old YU socialist quirp:

Amerika i Engleska bice zemlja proleterska.

@EU_Commission I hope the EU will also include plans to start producing some batteries within our borders.

@EU_Commission It is a good idea, but I'm afraid it will lead to proliferation of proprietary batteries form-factors which will reduce repair ability of the phone –¸the same problem that we had with DC chargers before USB.

@EU_Commission Really interested to see what this will give for future iPhone batteries
