There was a time when it was "lego-easy" to swap the batteries on phones. They had a door that slid open and the battery popped right out.



True but it's not really fair to compare a Nokia 3315 to an iPhone on 2022


The Nokia 3315, seriously? That's a pretty ridiculous strawman.

Flagship smartphones used to have easily removable batteries too. Like the Samsung Galaxy S3.


My Galaxy S4 was thinner than my subsequent iPhones, and had an easily removable back and battery. That said, the battery life was pretty bad, so that was a necessity.


Non apple phones had this a bit longer which is not as long ago as Nokia phones.
