    Pesky EU throwing their weight around giving consumers more rights! --Brexiteer logic

    Oh well hopefully we’ll (UK) still benefit from it. Easier to design one phone than “EU” and “Rest of world” versions after all.

      I mean … sometimes those companies consider it preferable to actually have two versions.

      That’s already happening though. The US version of the IPhone doesn’t have a physical Sim while the “rest of the world” version does.

        That’s a fairly minor alteration though compared to the redesign required to have a removable battery …
