This requirement will be imposed from February 18, 2027.
Currently, the iPhone battery requires removing the adhesive strips that secure it using tweezers, making it challenging.
If these strips break during the removal process, heat or a solvent is used to displace the adhesive.
This new method involves encasing the battery in metal rather than foil as it is currently.
As a result, they would also need to continue relying on Apple stores or other repair shops.
This could significantly change the repair industry as we know it.
