Will the EU's removable battery law change smartphone design worldwide?

​

EU smartphone requirements take effect on February 18, 2027.

The key requirements are:

1.Batteries must be readily removable and replaceable without damaging the phone.

2.Replacement should be possible with commercially available tools (or any special tool must be included for free).

3.Manufacturers must sell replacement batteries for at least 5 years after the last unit of that model is sold.

4.Those replacement batteries must be offered at a reasonable and non-discriminatory price. The law doesn't set a specific dollar/euro amount, but it prevents excessive pricing.

I'm curious what happens outside the EU. On one hand having a universal design is easier but I don't know if they'd want it easier for people to keep phones longer.
