Will this make any practical difference?

Hopefully.

Apple needs to change its ways.

Making their batteries user replaceable would be a start.


That's not going to happen, hardly any of the top end
smartphones are done like that anymore, for a reason.


and that reason is:

so that you are forced to throw it away and buy a new phone when the battery
dies


Um, just because the back doesnt flip off doesnt mean that batteries
arent replaceable. Ive changed several iPhone batteries of various
generations.
