I think if only they did this and the rest of the companies don't they would lose a big chunk of their market share, because a lot of people realy want those replacebal battery's
The thing with apple is that at this point they don't have customers, they have followers. People for whom this will be a deal breaker jumped the ship long ago, now the company can do whatever it wants and people will still buying the product, not because of whatever product does, but because they are people who buy Apple. The bad thing is that other companies will copy everything they do because they don't really understand the dynamics.
When I talked with friends or family no one ever mentioned wanting a replaceable battery..always just the new big screen, the camera or the speed. Some didn't even understand the difference between having 4GB of RAM or 4GB of storage.
I'd like to be wrong but I think most people don't really care and some will even complain about it.
Last time I bought a phone was around 3 years ago and when I asked about a new phone with a replaceable battery the guy just looked at me and asked "Why would you want that?"
