Really interesting point.

Out of topic, but is it possible that is this why phone manufacturers are shying away from putting bigger batteries in their flagships? They want the batteries to degrade in the 2 or 3 years of daily power cycle, and most people choose to upgrade instead of replacing their non-user-replaceable battery. Does this make sense?

I have often wondered the same thing. It seems like batteries in phones sometimes actually get smaller for no reason that makes sense to me.

It might just be that the manufacturers think everyone wants a thinner device, though.
