[edit: deleted, echo chamber here. Android good, Apple bad. Moving on and blocking this community, can't have a reasonable conversation, just like reddit I guess].

The difference is that most of the people isn't expected to own a mechanical watch, but having a smartphone is pretty much expected. You cannot treat a basic commodity as if it were a luxury item.

How is this an Android vs Apple thing? Most of the major manufacturers are making devices with the battery sealed in; they'll all have to innovate ways of making them removable.
