Apple's Vision Pro headset development team changes name to break with Jobs-era 'functional' management structure
In recent weeks, Apple's technical development team responsible for developing the Vision Pro headset has been renamed the Vision Products team. This reflects the company's tweaked product development process for the Vision Pro headset, rather than having separate departments responsible for different parts of the Vision Pro headset, as founder Steve Jobs did. When Jobs returned to Apple in the late 1990s, he dropped the company's original product development strategy in favor of a "functional" management structure. That's why Apple doesn't have an iPhone or iPad business unit, an AirPods team, or a dedicated Mac team. Instead, Apple is made up of departments like software engineering, hardware development, machine learning, design, and services. (TechWeb)

Not even the Switch can escape! EU to require all handheld devices to have replaceable batteries
According to the latest EU regulations, starting in 2027, new mobile phones and handheld gaming devices sold in the EU will need to be equipped with replaceable batteries. Specifically, "replaceable battery" means that the battery of the device can be easily disassembled using tools available on the market. If this is not possible, the manufacturer needs to provide special tools for free. However, the new rule doesn't apply to all phones because it includes some exemptions. For example, if the battery is of high quality, the manufacturer can still use a non-removable design, requiring that the mobile phone battery must still provide at least 83% of its original capacity after 500 full charge cycles and 80% of its original capacity after 1000 cycles. Waterproof equipment also does not apply to this provision. (Financial Network)
