Relates to the demand for thinness and compact innards. Also simplifies logistical support for the OEM.
Sure. They don't have to supply spare batteries worldwide for sale in consumer shops. It puts the onus on the user to send it in, if a battery needs replacement. They would only need a few in their maintenance hubs. (It's more profitable that way.)
Hi,
Why in recent years many devices such as mobile , mp3 player and ... migrate to install non-removable battery?
What are disadvantages removable battery?
the claim that it allows manufacturers to make cheaper/thinner designs is totally debunkable, just look how samsung designs their phones. the ONLY reason is to make u have to buy a new one more often

Removable battery or not, what I don't get is why phone makers try to continually make their phones lighter and thinner. People don't care about that anymore. However, the desire for longer battery life seems almost universal.

i supposed packaging is easier without having to have doors on things.
we can all blame apple for this, they started it.
At this point though, isn't the thinner/lighter sort of a diminishing returns kind of thing? Too thin is real. Too light (not "quality" enough). IF you can build a removable back with swappable battery system (even the wires plugging in, versus nice little contacts) and have it feel solid and comfortable in hand, why wouldn't you?
Of course, the real advance needs to be in energy technology in general. We won't be getting the Enterprise or lightsabres anytime soon at this rate.
