I recall the good old days, when “Cell Phones” were built to last, around 2002, they brought out “The Nokia 5100”, rubberized phone, I always kept a couple of spare charged batteries in my car, that phone was bulletproof… Unfortunately not lorry proof though, one day whilst in town I sat it on the top of my car and drove off, and a lorry crushed it, I bought another though, and It’s still kicking about the house somewhere, I saw it a couple of months ago, probably still works if you stuck a fresh battery in it? But, you are 100% spot on @Volusiano, Apple have an abysmal track record with making it as difficult as possible to change anything that needs to be renewed, especially batteries… I love their products, I have an iPhone X, iPad and iMac, the iPhone and iPad, I have changed the batteries, and both still run perfect, the iMac I run Windows 10, IOS is way too restrictive… I believe companies like Apple, and for that matter Oticon, should be forced to make their products easily excessible to changing batteries, and other perishable parts, we pay overly inflated prices for these goods, and a battery has only a certain lifespan, it should be easy to remove, and replace!
