Apple is the company that took us backwards. Before the iPhone, cell phones had easily replaceable batteries. The non-replaceable batteries carried over to other portable electronics. That is all the fault of Apple.

Thankfully in 2027 (thank to the EU), the iPhone and other battery powered electronics will have to be easily user replaceable. I look forward to seeing what the 2027 iPhone is going to be like. I'm not sure if this carries over to earbuds and headphones. But if it does, I look forward to seeing the AirPod Pro with replaceable batteries.
