Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That's far from the case today...
You can more or less forget about ultrabooks or other highly portable laptops if you want externally removable batteries. The latching mechanism and protective packaging takes up a lot of space, where there already is none. I find that releasing a few screws to pop the back cover is barely an inconvenience; to some degree people need to learn to do this stuff if they want the best of both worlds.
