I've never had to change a phone because of batteries (at least not a smartphone) so.....shrug.

It won't have any effect on me either way, I can see it being useful for people who spend time away from a place where they can charge often so swapping out the batteries for new ones that haven't decayed into needing to be charged at all times would be useful.

On the other hand new restrictions means that businesses might just opt out from the market and having to change design to accommodate government interference usually results in higher costs which means either less profit per sale or higher prices which results in less overall profit for the region and more incentive to not sell there.

So back to having no idea of it will be a good or bad thing but it will probably at the very least be a good excuse to increase prices
