Why shouldn't smartphone battery be replacable with 0 tools? Why should there be glue involved? It was a standard that mobile phone batteries were easily replacable. In fact https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?idBatRemovable=1 returns ~6400 results while not removable returns ~2400 results. In fact that's how most smartphones were until some market leaders decided to move to glue on hard to replace models. |

Personally, I prefer the current common design of trading tool-less battery service for size and weather resistance. I want a smaller more durable phone and I am willing to trade away tool less battery hot-swapping to get it.
With that said, let me re-iterate that I think battery replacements in particular should be REASONABLY accessible. I should be able to perform a battery replacement myself with easily available tools/consumables provided by either(/both) the original manufacturer or third parties.
