We're not necessarily talking about "pop the back open and slam a new one in" batteries a la Nokia 3310, but rather being able to replace a battery at the end of its lifecycle without special expertise and tools, but still, with some amount of effort required.
That's the requirement at least, but companies are of course free to choose either approach.

Thank you for clarification and context.
I'm daydreaming about potential feature and sell point some manufacturers may adapt to bring this regulation further into a win-win for themselves and customers. So yes, essentially bring me 3310 back :)
God damn people here are fucking civil and understanding here
I feel like I’m on Reddit in the late ‘00s again.
Thanks mate.
But when Apple ships the replacement battery with the Apple self service tools that they have today. Would that even change something for the iPhone? The amount of expertise is questionable.
