The batteries are not soldered even in the newest Samsung phones. Everything you’d want to replace is modular. Not sure about Apple.

Also not soldered on any iPhone but for sure stuck behind several layers of adhesive.

My pixel 4a battery isn’t soldered but I needed to spend 45 minutes taking it apart and it’s definitely not something the average phone user would be comfortable doing. We need to pass (in the US) some sort of legislation that makes it simple to replace phone batteries.

Oh it took me about 4 hours recently to replace the battery in my galaxy note 10. Most of that time was painstakingly cleaning up the old adhesives and gaskets with alcohol, tweezers and scrapers.

Fat chance. Our only hope is that the EU does it
