To be honest, some may be to an extent but I’ve heard of issues. The last one, I don’t see how it can be address “add more parts needed, like seals, screws that strip too easily, that annoying sticky tape etc.”. Because they may take extra steps to ensure durability and integrity (mainly to just make more $$ from those doing it themselves.).
I also find it odd because for me at least in the US, it cost me less than $100 for a iPhone 13 Pro Max battery replacement after a little more than 1yr of use, primarily went out due to extreme cold weather. Is the problem more towards a lack of authorized repair locations or their pricing? I’m sincerely curious what is the root issue here.
Yes, and it would still not require “any kind of technical expertise.”. That doesn’t mean the battery replacement process couldn’t include replacing gaskets, screws, tape during the process to ensure a safe and functional device since it’s still being opened. They may even sell it as a kit?
There is still so much left vague or not even mentioned, I just wish it was better off the bat. Of course, as mentioned it’s a step in the right direction but there are holes that could be filled before people get screwed over.

You paid $100 for a battery replacement!?!? My Galaxy S7’s second battery cost us $12!
“it must be easy to replace a battery without any kind of technical expertise.”
