One should be able to repair and swap batteries in electronics including the batteries. It is not sustainable for the environment to buy and throw cell phones every few years apart. One should alas be able to reuse components such as displays.
If one would be able to swap batteries in the iPhone and Samsung s7 there would have been a less issue.
Phones should also have boot loaders allowing free operating systems. It would help with new environmental laws demanding reapairability.

How does the environmental impact of creating a phone compare with that of creating a TV which might only last 10 years, or a car? Feels to me like the phone impact must be pretty minimal.
