Do you feel like you bought, and thus own, something which you were surprised was designed to maximize integration for minimal size? I mean, it might not be what you want, but doesn't Apple explicitly state that like everywhere?

Android phones have routinely fit bigger batteries in the same form factor with the same water/dust resistances with much higher reparability.

The over reliance on glue does not make apple devices more "integrated", it only makes them harder to repair.

I'll happily pick something that is harder to break, even if that means it's harder to repair. Other people may have other priorities, and that's okay. That doesn't make one choice better than the other.
