That and being more compact. They're both legitimate reasons and most users probably wouldn't never bother with swapping batteries.
I'm part of the minority. I used to change batteries as soon as I noticed a drop in battery charge cycles.
I had a 6s iPhone for 5 years and I never changed the battery. The battery wasn’t great when it was brand new so you can imagine aftwr 5 years. It would die in like maybe 2 hours. Then I got a new iPhone the pro max 12 and the battery lasted all day. It was so nicer. Now I see they make even bigger batteries.
I've got my trusty LG V20 with a stack of OEM batteries, stored at ~40% charge to reduce deterioration.
That's a bullshit lie. There's nothing magical about making a battery non-removable that shrinks the volume required for a given capacity. 1cc takes up 1cc no matter whether you can remove it or not. Besides, the Motorola Razor was thinner than any phone today and it had a removable battery.
Lie = disagree. A removable battery requires more protection around it, and a way to open the case or remove the battery. That reduces design freedom. If you want to get technical every battery is removable, just not easily. Not everything inconvenient is necessarily a conspiracy to shackle you. BTW even when batteries are removable, try getting a genuine OEM battery a few years later, and one that hasn't sat on a shelf for years deteriorating.
A removable battery requires more protection around it,
What makes a removable batter more vulnerable to damage?
That’s like saying a 77 f150 was easy to work on, so a 2022 Lexus should be too. They’re completely different.
It's not like that at all. A given battery capacity requires the same amount of volume. Whether it's removable or not is irrelevant to size.
