I would love this to have a global impact, but I have a bad feeling phone manufacturers are going to create a special EU model to comply with this.

This comes at a time where I'm considering replacing my 5 year old phone battery due to significant degradation, but at the cost of my phone's water resistance. I'm all for user repairability and really look forward to these consumer friendly changes.
Unfortunately you'll have to wait until 2027 so your current 5 year old phone will probably be long dead by that point.

The other thing that seems to fail is USB-C connector. I wonder if the USB-C connectors in most phones last beyond 5 years. Mine still works but I cannot plug the device in and use it without it just falling out pretty quickly. The old micro USB plugs seem a little more robust.
Wireless charging solves most of that.
mm maybe. connectors should definitely have a tiny magnet, but its still rare...
