    i hope this eu law makes it happen elsewhere, if anything for them to take better advantage of the economy of scale.

    and if they dont ill be coveting some eu devices.

      They probably calculate cost saved by economy of scale, vs profit generated from planned obsolescence in other markets.

      Might be more profitable to run different SKUs.

      The EU is a relatively large market, and it wouldn’t make economic sense to develop and produce EU-specific devices. I’m pretty sure you’ll also be seeing replaceable batteries.
