Not having an accessible battery is an eventual KOD.
Not related to OS10 but it is a serious flaw none the less. On my Samsung you have to almost destroy it to get the battery out. A lot of phones have that issue. I do believe Apple pioneered that feature.
I try to never let it get below 40%.
One billion iOS devices later with out battery access and you guys are STILL predicting this? You need a better, clearer crystal ball.
You do realize batteries can be replaced, just need a little effort... and that Samsung and most other high end device manufacturers have moved to the non user replaced batteries as well?
What a non issue.
I can bash Apple for many things, but the sealed device is only an issue for folks who just hate apple to hate apple.
You will never need to replace a battery on an Apple device. I've had close to a dozen apple devices since 2003 and have yet to replace a battery. Even my original 2003 iPod (the first thing from Apple I ever bought) is still functional with its original battery. It's only a 40GB model but I keep it attached to the stereo in my garage and will still run several hours easy on battery power alone.
