apple itself with the iPhone 4 has proven such a design possible.
I’m a little confused by this. iPhone batteries are already physically replaceable by users. Perhaps they are referring to “legal” replaceability (e.g. the ability to replace a battery without voiding the warranty, etc.).
You are correct, but I could see Apple make a Europe specific phone.ROTFL. Apple will not abandon a market of around 450 million consumers. Apple will redesign the iPhone accordingly.
I think this is a little over the top. The non-proprietary USB-C is a good thing, but enabling consumers to mess with highly volatile batteries is another thing. An affordable battery replacement program is a better idea.

How is this a bad thing?
Now if you drop your phone the glass back shatters and you are out $ 1,000. Total piece of crap.The first smartphone I used had a replaceable battery. I hated it. Any time I dropped the phone the back of the case popped off. Total piece of crap.
Don’t be so sure. Europe is forcing them to use USB C. Bring it on.Won’t happen.
As well you know, that was a special offer. Apple probably trying to avoid litigation due to its implementation of device throttling through iOS.Extortionate amount of money for battery replacements? My last replacement was $29. Oooh...ouch. Real bank-breaker, there.
Ah, so form over function. Not a wise approach.If you take the word sleek out of the sentence, absolutely.

Of course plastic is a sleek and nice looking as glass.
Just have no battery in the iPhone and require connecting to a another device that has a removable battery with the lighting port or USB-C port.
and regular price is $49 / £49 / € 55 for iphone8 and earlier. $69 / £69 / € 75 for iphoneX and newer.As well you know, that was a special offer. Apple probably trying to avoid litigation due to its implementation of device throttling through iOS.
Everyone knows that a battery replacement for an iPhone is only either $49 or $69, right???

The same IP68 as aniPhone 11 Pro Max.
UK left because they wanted to be able control immigration. The EU mandates any EU citizen can work and live in any EU country. When the EU was formed the Eastern block counties were not member of the EU.And this is a perfect example of why the UK decided to leave the undemocratic EU.
