My phone with a replaceable battery... every time I’d drop it or throw it on my bed, the back pops off and battery flies out. It also made things quite a bit thicker for this feature I never used, except to put the battery back in. I’d argue that the ability to solder is still repairability, it just requires the service tech to have soldering skills. It’s not like there’s actual restrictions preventing it. My clothes drier is repairable, but requires electrical skills. Phones are more complicated now. It stands to reason that they’re more complicated to repair.
