Ya the only reason I get new phones is because the battery gets too weak. I could easily keep the same device for 5+ years if I could swap batteries

You can. It cost $15 every three years to have someone replace the battery for you or you can spend the hour doing it yourself.

    Yes. $15 and an hour. You can bring in your own battery or pay ~$60 USD for an official one. It’s all very easy.
    
    This law won’t change shit. People are still going to dump their phone every 2 year.
