I didn't say it was the perfect phone, nor did I get defensive about anything. In fact, I don't think I even said anything about it other than mentioning that you don't have to pull the battery to foce a hard boot like you do with a BB. If you did, then not being able to would be an obvious concern.
For me, the whole removable battery thing has always been a non-issue. If a battery dies, it costs me just as much to get Apple to replace it as it would if I were to buy a battery myself and put it in. Actually, since the non-replaceable batteries are covered under Apple's warranty, it would even cost me a lot less than replacing it myself.
As for carrying multiple batteries around, that might have been a valid point 6 years ago, but the batteris of today last so much longer, and there are so many ways of easily recharging them on the move, that it just strikes me as another moot point. I plug my phone in at night, and it lasts me all day long.
It's just a phone after all. It's not like we're talking about something people spend 18 hours a day working on.
I have a Dell laptop that I take to school, and it has a battery that barely lasts an hour and a half. Do I take the battery out and switch it? No, I plug it in. Would I care if the battery was sealed inside the laptop and I wasn't able to take it out? No, because I never take it out anyway. Why would I spend $90 on a second battery that's only going to give me another 90 minutes? No thanks, I'll just plug it in.
