(some might say that justifying the planned obsolescence practice of shortening phone lifespans by making battery replacement more difficult by saying it's because it's the only way to achieve features that people demanded - who asked people what features they wanted on phones, anyway? - is doing free PR for phone companies, but I think that point has been made way better than I could, in many other comments which you seem to have not read)

Seriously we are talking about a battery replacement in a phone after 3-4 years for most people. 80 bucks for a phone that costed you 1200... This isn't an issue for the average user in my oppinion.
