Yes but USB C has solved that problem.

  Which modern phone has a removable battery and is water resistant? The vaunted Samsung s5, you still had to make sure that the battery was very secure and just right. > https://www.gottabemobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-water-test-dont-try-this-with-your-iphone/#:~:text=It's%20important%20to%20remember%20that,or%20are%20in%20extreme%20environments https://www.gottabemobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-water-test-d... > If you remove the battery, the Galaxy S5 will remind you to make sure the back cover is back in place securely.

    Apparently the brand new iphone 14! https://www.ifixit.com/News/64865/iphone-14-teardown https://www.ifixit.com/News/64865/iphone-14-teardown The new law apparently doesn't require a user to be able to replace the battery by hand. Just that it is serviceable.

      The iPhone has always been serviceable by an authorized Apple dealer or if you’re good enough and brave enough by the end user wiling to use the iFixit guide.

        So, you're saying the answer to your own question was "basically all iphones"? I think the new law would basically mean the end user doesn't have to deal with glue now at least.

          The answer to my question - was that you could spend $69 - $99 to get a battery replaced by an authorized Apple provider and if they broke something or didn’t do it right, it would be covered under warranty.
