If this happens it would be amazing news.
People can uptalk apple all they want, but they are a long term practitioner and masterof planed obsolescence. If you refuse to see this while they sell you SSD space and RAM at a crazy premium price i don't know what to tell you. And of cause you could find a way to plug in a micro SD somewhere in your iPad rather than having to buy a new one when you notice that 32gb is not that much in 2020.
Apple is the company that had to be forced to offer battery replacements for iPod and alike, Apple is the company that charges you silly prices to replace your battery. They pretend to be greener than they are, as much as i love a good amount of their products.
Apples is the company that dos not allow you to use your iPad as a second screen if your computer is to old. A computer that very much can use the iPad as a second screen with third party Apps.
Apple is the company that cuts of all the battery health Apps from the App Store because they now offer that service native in the OS... to than switch over to telling everyone with a third party battery that they need to visit a apple service partner ASAP.
They are not nice. They want your money. And thats more important to them than the environment. It just is.
A friend recently told me a smartphone is like a toaster. It already dos everything you will ever need, you never will need a new one. Like, the amount of people that need a iPhone 11 pro that can not only record 4k with 3 lenses but also edit it is so tiny that it is a joke.
I am only on my second smart phone. The first one was a google nexus 3, now i have been on the iPhone SE almost since it has been released. Recently replaced the battery under big stress, luckily nothing broke. Now it feels like a new device. It dos everything i need it to do and i dread that Apple will probably cut it of iOS updates and compatibility by the end of this year. It's perfect. It's small, it's powerful enough to get everything don i need (and more, but i stoped using games and magic alike). Why would i buy a new one? Especially if that new one by now is like 2-4 times the price.

... any possible chance this might have something to do with avoiding poorly manufactured third party batteries exploding in people's pockets, resulting in bad press and lawsuits?
How would apple get sued if a third party battery blows up? Its such a bad argument.

Wait, why are so many people upset about this? How is making a phone last longer a bad thing? Or do they have shares that it would most likely affect? lol
Because fanboyz

Your implication is that Apple is too stupid, too lazy, or too evil to make their batteries easy to replace.
They literally had to be sued into offering battery replacements. LITERALLY.
