I'm not too bothered about replacing sealed in batteries. I suspect I
don't keep devices as long as you do though. My iPhone 4S is probably
the only device I'd be bothered about if the battery got annoyingly
short life span. However I'm pretty sure I can walk into one of those
phone shops and get it swapped out for not much.
Cheers,
