I don’t really want a user removable battery and make it less water proof. The devices are pretty good and last several years if the batteries are well taken care of. I’m also fine with Apple replacing the batteries with its own certified batteries where I don’t have to worry (much) about the quality or longevity or even stability of the power source. The bigger issue with all lithium batteries on devices is that even third party replacements are available only for a limited number of years. I’d rather have Apple and similar companies be forced to provide paid battery replacements for longer than their self-defined device obsolescence cycles (which are quite short for phones, tablets, and even for laptops). That’s how you can make sure that devices remain (kinda) usable for the long term, even if they’re handed down to someone else. If Apple is indeed forced to do something, I’d rather have a better way to load apps outside of the App Store and increase competition for Apple.
