Regulations approved by the European Council now mandate that companies, including Apple, must ensure that batteries in the iPhone and other products are replaceable by users.
A replaceable battery is like the audio jack my current phone fortunately still has. I don’t use it often, but if I ever need it, it’s there. I don’t think I ever replaced a battery of my daily-driver phone, but more than once I’ve replaced my old phone’s battery to repurpose it after getting a new one.
