For me it’s the Batteries Regulations.
It includes things like:
-
Replaceable batteries that is “easy for consumers to remove/replace” in devices like smartphones, tablets and cameras by 2027.
-
Recycling “of critical raw materials such as cobalt, lithium and nickel” in batteries will be prioritised and developed further by 2025.
Let me hear yours. It can be anything, and also regulations from the past which came into effect in 2023.
For me that’s one of the worst things. Thanks for hampering innovation.
Oh yeah, look at all the innovations in connectors of the past. So much innovation! Wow!
Like usb 2 speeds on lightning for iPhones
Humanity doesn’t need that kind of “innovation” right now lol. We desperately need to produce less waste and become much much more sustainable.
The legislation is done in such way that it can be adapted in the future. It is not written in stone for eternity.
Is 240W charging and 120Gbit/s data transfer not enough innovation for you?
Apples Lightning connector was only 5Gbit/s and usually 0.48Gbit/s
