Funny, my last few phone upgrades were in large part because of that.
I went through 3 replacement batteries on my last phone (a Galaxy S5) over the course of 4-5 years because the OEM ones kept bulging (possibly due in part from heat generated by my aftermarket Qi panel).
I find it terribly annoying being pushed to upgrade my device every couple years.
I bought a brand new S10+ and after a year of use there's a noticeable difference in battery life. It's the model with 1TB Flash storage (yes) so I'm not eager to throw away the investment. I wish I could put in a new battery without need for adhesive peeling, a heat gun and luck.
I agree with the comments about user-hostile design in regard to smartphone batteries.
