I understand where you're coming from, but customers who want/need to swap out batteries themselves are too small of a market for Apple to care about. Unfortunately for you, the trend of ever-tighter industrial design (which means integrated batteries) only looks like it will continue.
- will_work4tears 14y ago"only looks like it will continue" This is probably true, but hopefully battery technology gets better and electronics require less and less power. Charging every day is a hassle. Especially since you supposedly shouldn't charge until it's entirely drained.

- wtracy 14y agowill_work4tears: Lithium batteries (used in all modern phones and tablets) work best when not drained completely before recharging. In fact, there's usually firmware specifically designed to cut power off before the battery completely discharges, because completely discharging the battery can physically damage it. (Completely discharging LiPoly batteries can actually produce a fire hazard, because gaseous hydrogen is generated inside the cell!)
