"Easy" and "convenient" are not requirements.

Most iPhones meet all of the EU requirements except for the "thermal energy" restriction which is needed to loosen the adhesives which provide the waterproof seal around the front glass. I don't know how Apple are going to change the waterproofing seals but other than this one thing there are no other changes required to comply with the EU regulation.
Removing screws with commercially available tools is easy and convenient. It means we have to be able to open the device to be able to change the battery. I can easily see the iPhone having screws to get to the battery compartment.
