Apple is pretty user-hostile. Moreso than MS in my estimation. Try changing the battery in your iphone, or getting music on it without using itunes.

Sure. But aren't we past changing batteries? They're less an issue than changing screens these days. And screens have never been easily replaceable. Its just us old folks who expect the battery to come out.
Those of us that aren't drinking the apple kool aid aren't past changing batteries. And I'm old. Perhaps Apple is just old-person-hostile, which amounts to about the same thing for me.

Try changing the battery in your Lumia.

My Lumia 640 has replaceable battery. It might be a windows phone though.
Hah! You're right. Microsoft's own devices actually do all have replaceable batteries, only (most of) the older Nokia-branded Lumias have soldered batteries.
And I'll try changing it in my Nexus. We're at the point where the inability to change your battery is pretty common place on flagship phones.
