Expensive? It’s like 50-70€ to swap an iPhone battery and you get a warranty for the battery.

There’s no way a user-swappable battery will be cheaper than that.

Back when phones had replaceable batteries they were nowhere near 50-70€. Half that, if that much.

They were also really tiny capacity-wise.
