Sooo I totally get the appeal, but I actually don’t want removable batteries. Like the everyday benefit of a thinner, more water/dust proof phone is much useful to me than the annoyance of having to take my phone in to get serviced once every three to four years.
Yeah it seems kinda pointless to me at least. I’m still gonna end up going with a battery from the phone manufacturer anyways and it will probably cost the same as getting them to replace it for me. Like I don’t want to trust 3rd party batteries with an expensive phone at this point.
Thickness and weight might have been a serious issue 10 years ago but batteries have reached such high energy densities that the additional volume/weight becomes negligible especially considering how thin most phones already are.

It’s not really the battery thickness that is the issue it’s the docking mechanism that has to be robust enough for real world usage.
