The European Union is considering the implementation of a rul that would require all cell phone batteries be easily replaceable. If they do require cell phone companies to comply with the proposed rule, Apple may have a problem. As you know Apple's iPhone battery is not accessible to the user, even though it should be.
"AppleInsider spotted that particular directive in an article in New Electronics, a U.K. trade publication, on the latest set of computer-industry regulations under consideration in Europe. The EU is thinking about enacting a new directive on batteries similar to its RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) directives from a few years back that forced the computer industry to eliminate harmful chemicals and/or materials from its manufacturing processes."
