Apple is reportedly working on making iPhone batteries easier to replace to meet EU rules. The new technology, expected as early as this autumn, is designed to align with the EU’s requirements for sustainable design and recycling by 2027.
Currently, Apple uses adhesive strips to secure batteries in iPhones. The new method they are developing involves using electricity to loosen the adhesive, allowing users to remove batteries more easily. This change is aimed at supporting a cleaner environment by enabling users to replace batteries throughout the life of their device.
Adhesives are important for making devices easier to recycle, and this innovation is a significant step forward in that direction. It’s part of Apple’s effort to meet environmental regulations and promote more sustainable practices in their products.
