Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

Manufacturers aren't going to make a different model for the rest of the world. It's much cheaper to just make one model.

A good example is Tesla models 75D and 100D - they both have the exact same battery pack but the 75D is electronically limited so that the range is less than on 100D so it's cheaper tho it's the same car.
