https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlHtbaRWAAEdwdv?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlHtbaRWAAEdwdv?format=jpg&name=... > "The legislation as drafted included technical issues that could put safety and security at risk, as well as heighten the risk of injury from physical repair projects, and I am pleased to have reached an agreement with the legislature to address these issues." The whole bill was altered by the legislature and governor such that assemblies satisfy the requirement to have parts available. So if Samsung glues the battery to the screen and sells it to you as a $300 part, that satisfies the requirement of having the battery available. So the whole bill was sabotaged and used a press release by the government to pretend they were doing something for the people when in fact they were neutering the bill.

I had an iPhone repaired under warranty; it was the logic board but the Apple Store dude was proud to let me know that the display and camera would move over, but everything else was part of the logic board (including the battery). I guess a phone with three parts is better than one with one part.

  What model was it ? Does Apple solder their iPhones batteries now ?

    it was an iPhone 13; I don't know if the battery is "really" connected or it's just how they do the repair; he just mentioned that the back cover and battery would be part of the logic board replacement. (I still am not quite certain why they didn't just give me a refurbished phone and later repair mine as a refurb, but whatever)

    No, and in the newest iPhone, 14, it was made easier to replace the battery: https://www.ifixit.com/News/64865/iphone-14-teardown https://www.ifixit.com/News/64865/iphone-14-teardown I think X to 13 models had particularly difficult battery replacements.
