I just hope the battery doesn't cost as much as a new phone would.
The EU almost forced the phone industry to start using standardised/interchangeable batteries.
If the batteries cost as much as a new phone, they'll reconsider that decision.
It's so dumb that a standard hasn't been developed yet. Like AA/C/D, 18650 batteries, etc. They could have modular batteries with different sizes and capacities that work interchangeably.
It took forty years for aa batteries to become a standard. They were a trademark type by I think everready.
