To be fair, replacing battery/screen of Apple phones is easier and cheaper than some competing products. (phones are easier, iPads are harder)

Some phones require heat gunning the screen as a start to open, then the battery is deep inside. Not with iPhones.

The worst of the worst being Microsoft's Surface line where iFixit says a battery replacement is simply impossible on the Surface Laptop.

>According to iFixit, the Surface Laptop isn’t repairable at all. In fact, it got a 0 out of 10 for repairability and was labeled a “glue-filled monstrosity.”
