Why not simply let me take out the battery and put in a new one? They created these locked down devices. Let them feel the pain.

  An unpopular opinion, but if you don’t like non removable batteries, don’t buy devices utilizing them. That’s how you hurt them. There’s nothing anti competitive about non removable batteries. Also: iPhone, iPod, and iPad batteries are replaceable; just not easily. There’s literally a connector that seperates the battery from the logic board. If they wanted to prevent you from replacing it, they’d solder them together.

    > don't buy devices utilizing them. That's the absolute least effective way of discouraging the practice. It's the strategy companies want you to take, but it influences companies the least. Collective action by consumers is a much better way of effecting change, including politically or legally, as they did here. It definitely is anti-competitive to have none-removable batteries: it stops your old product from competing with your new product. Finally, as a matter of fact, the battery in my mid 2015 iPod nano is literally soldered together, like you say, and that has stopped me from putting in a new one, like I did myself with an iPhone 3G.

    I don't and I don't understand why anyone would. That's why I'm happy to see Apple having to pay for this ridiculous practice.
