Um... what? The display is fused to the glass. The battery is glued to the case.

  Still, why is it glued at all?

    Lighter, thinner.

      and serviceable only by apple, hopefully investing the servicing cost into buying a brand new gizmo instead which comes with a brand new battery.

      Because everyone complains about those heavy screws!

    Jesus Christ, it's glue not a impenetrable force-field. I don't know why, but I can think of many plausible examples that don't include ridiculous conspiracy theories about a company wanting to take all your money.

      Please provide an example why a screw or removable panel would provide less value to the consumer than gluing the thing and making it impossible to replace the battery on your own. I eagerly await your response.
