It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

I love the Sony line so much but I’ve never pulled the trigger on one because they have a terrible history of android updates. I’m so tired of dropping so much money on android phones just to sit around on old, outdated software. The android rom community isn’t like it used to be and the Sonys have always been too niche and expensive with proprietary camera tech to drive a vibrant custom scene. Maybe Project Treble will solely start changing things but I’m not holding my breath.

If Sony actually marketed their phones, dropped some of the features like a notch or two, and slashed prices for a few years to build a base I think they’d dominate the android scene.
