Not "inaccessible" but totally unnecessary. Why the bloody hell do you need a 9-volt battery to replace the battery!?!?
Removing the back glass takes special tools, but I'll take that over having to replace my phone every time it gets wet.
Gaskets have been around for over a century.

Seems like a pretty clever solution, if not a bit over-engineered: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/28/new-battery-replacement-method-with-iphone-16/ https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/28/new-battery-replacement...
