I think 90% chance of apple going for the EU-Specific model just like they did for Digital markets act, 10 chance of screws, 0% chance of actually popping the back cover off with bare hands.

For Samsung, 50% chance EU-Specific models 40% chance screws, 10% chance back cover tool-less removal. (Edit: typo)

As for other smaller manufacturers, probably just 50%/50% either screws or tool-less back cover removal.

    I’m guessing EU-specific models. There’s no way the manufacturers would willingly pass the ability to prolong the life of the phones to countries they didn’t have to do that for.

      I wonder when we will shed this rotten system.

        We won’t. It will continue to fester and rot till it collapses on top of us. But don’t worry, in billions of years, when another species replaces us. They’ll dig up the bones of our civilization and marvel at how good our q4 profits were.
