Either way, Apple never had a removable battery.

While using genuine battery is recommended, creating monopoly for that is bad.
So creating non removable back was actually a greed.

I have my reasons to not buy apple (expensive, tries to lock you in their walled garden, iOS too restricting...). Also you can get quality android devices.

People complained and they started using glass and metal but the tradeoff was you couldn't remove the back cover
You could try a gimmick like the LG G5 with a swipping battery but that didn't really work out

Who are you even to criticize someone how they spend their own money?
It's just you GSMarena keyboard bots who are either jealous of Apple because they're doing incredibly fine without 15 people getting mad or that simply you can't have their device so you have to make an excuse why are they ,,bad" and trash their customers, could be something else too.
For the last time, i do not own Apple products yet, i'm not changing phones every month. My next phone will be an iPhone simply because i want a quality, security and smooth OS (don't even start with the bugs, I don't care anymore).
Now i'm not defending them, they did make some movements that aren't okay to me for example raising the prices for battery replacements or making iPhone 14 the same as iPhone 13 or putting a 60hz display on a $700+ devices.
It's simply that i like the design of iOS, animations and how it generally works.
Now keyboard warriors, continue writing whatever you want, i'm done with y'all.

What? You just love to trash people for owning a device or spending money how they want?
This just proves to me that we live in a d*mb a** world where you can't make a single comment/move without being judged, judged for literally st*pid things. Grow up.

First step: make your products unrepairable.
Second step: increase the repair cost for those products that can still be repaired.
Third step will likely be instead of selling products, they will be rented to the "owners" for a set amount of time and if the device breaks then you have to do a new contract to rent a new device.
