I was really looking forward to the Balmuda phone, but it also disappeared from the market https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/meet-this-unique-compact-android-phone-from-a-japanese-toaster-company/

I’d like to see a more ergonomic phone; it’s time to evolve from just a thin slab.

So what is this made of if not lithium?

I’m surprised they did this as a statute. It will be trivial for the legislature to curtail or reverse it.

Haha yes it’s overall very long, but the section on this specific question isn’t too long, just 3 pages.

Brookings did a long but very readable analysis about why this won’t work: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/11122022_GA_Investigation_Report_SecondEdition.pdf
