Only forced obsoleting by the company. No other reasons exist. I and tens of millions other people used removable back cover phones for years before the sealed phone became the norm. Edit: Can anyone explain why they think that this is wrong? I am genuinely interested. I really used user-removable battery phones for close to a decade. I found no issues.

While companies do want you to buy the newest version every year or two, it is more likely that cost-benefit analysis tells them to build the way they build; they know they must release newer better phones periodically because the competition will do this also. But to support older phones has a cost, and at some point those old phones don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of supporting them.

You can’t think of another reason? Not maybe any of those mentioned in the thread? And then you can’t think of reasons for the downvotes? I see a pattern, maybe?
