Pesky EU throwing their weight around giving consumers more rights! --Brexiteer logic

Oh well hopefully we'll (UK) still benefit from it. Easier to design one phone than "EU" and "Rest of world" versions after all.

That's already happening though. The US version of the IPhone doesn't have a physical Sim while the "rest of the world" version does.

That's a fairly minor alteration though compared to the redesign required to have a removable battery ..
