Also headphone jack?

Also standardized charger?

Maybe Apple will finally realize the mistakes they've made because of their decreasing market share.

The problem is that they have intoxicated the entire market with their ideas.

Poor modularity, poor functionality and planned obsolescence.

Apple also brought us the notch screen.

Now, many phones have distorted screen shapes.

Many new phones have design flaws that were invented by crApple.

While this law would reduce planned obsolescence, it would also add another hoop for any potential competitors to jump through.

But we already have enough phones with non-replaceable battery.

Will this apply to laptop/tablet manufacturers as well?

    Me too, for these reasons.
