    You’re requesting something impossible for me, making it irrelevant. I also don’t make any claims about thinness. I’m just saying I think Apple with all their amazing engineers would be able to solve it.

    I don’t know whether this requirement is generally relevant for most users, it might not be, but I think we should strive for devices that are as easy as possible to repair to give them a longer life. An iPhone have immensely capable hardware these days - the other bit is of course software support.

      “Engineers can do anything!”

      No, they’re limited by physics and size constraints. I’d also like a phone that is easily repairable by me, but there’s a trade off.

        That’s not what I’m saying. Clearly there will be a trade off. I’d be highly surprised if the Apple engineers haven’t spent many, many hours exploring every little detail about their iPhone designs. If Apple and everyone else is forced to design their devices to have easily replaceable batteries, then I’m sure Apple will be able to make a pretty good solution for it because they are amazing at what they do.
