Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That's far from the case today...
Loss of headphone jacks was the worst change for me. I’ve never had a problem with batteries. My phones have become obsolete due to software updates that brick them or because the hardware can’t get the latest security updates and I don’t want to take the risk. A power button went on one phone (Google Nexus something or other) because LG(?) installed a weak plastic rocker and made it unreplaceable. Absolutely nothing else wrong with it but it was just out of warranty.
