Indeed. I also wonder how far the requirement will go, i.e. will the manufacturers be required to allow replacing a battery on the go (without tools) or will they be allowed to secure the compartment with screws or other means requiring the use of tools to open the case. If it’s the former, then the fad of phones as thin as possible is likely coming to an end (applies to the latter as well but to a lesser extent).
