How about we go back to 2010 where every phone (Except the iPhone) had a removable battery and Apple just goes that route yea?

Agree 100%, the 3 things cell phone MFG did to reduce their cost & increase their revenue stream was IMO
1: Did away with the easy replacement of the removable battery.
2: Deleted SD storage.
3: Removed the head phone jack
