I asked this elsewhere, but I'll ask you too. What's significant better about a replaceable battery vs a battery pack that's appropriately sized to your needs?

  Not having to buy a new phone just because the battery doesn't charge any more.

  A less-commonly mentioned benefit: you can remove it to be more confident that your phone is really powered off.

    Wondered if somebody would mention that. I agree completely. It's the only really universally legitimate reason to need a removable battery. Everything else is personal preference imho (not saying it makes "your" preference illegitimate, just that there's an equally valid solution "you" chose to not follow). * your/you above wasn't referring to any specific person

      > It's the only really universally legitimate reason to need a removable battery. So if it dies, one should just shut up and buy a new phone?!

        Or you know, just replace the battery! Just because you can't swap it on a moments notice doesn't make the phone junk.
