I keep trying to upvote comments lol. I'll get use to it. Yes whatever. I feel this is like Google's parent company becoming Alphabet. I don't care and it doesn't make any difference to my day to day usage. I'm pretty sure I learned just today that the company is Mindgeek.

Oooh devious! "We listened to our customers so now all new iPhones will have replaceable batteries.*"

  • Battery not included. Purchase a compatible battery from the Apple store for just $99.99.

Lol no doubt. Remember when Apple (and other manufacturers I guess) stopped including chargers in the box and they told us it was to reduce waste and was better for the environment? I wonder how many millions of dollars it saved them?

I just bought a shoulder bag that has a USB passthrough for this sort of thing. I haven't put a powerbank inside yet but I plan to. Both mine and my wife's iPhone 13 batteries are starting to suck bad.

Lol this post reads like grandma telling her kids about how phones were in her day!
"When I was young, we'd just pop the back off the phone and replace the battery ourselves."
"Yea yea grandma. Let's get you to bed."

This reminds me of Dara O'Briain's bit about going back in time and thinking you'll impress the greatest minds in history with your future knowledge but it falls apart quickly.
