Your Phone Rights in Europe Are Better Than You Think,and They Get Better in February 2027: eu replaceable battery rules 2027
Your phone is two years old, the battery no longer lasts a day, and
replacing it costs enough that you start browsing new devices instead.
The EU has decided this cycle should end and put actual law behind it.
If you bought a phone in Europe after June 2025 you already have seven
years of guaranteed spare parts and five years of updates. From February
2027 batteries must be replaceable with a screwdriver. Most people
entitled to these rights do not know they exist.
