If only one could open the back and replace the battery, the thing that has been known to everybody to wear out while the rest of the device is perfectly functional. One could only dream of such advanced technology. Maybe in 10 years.

You can. Or at least Apple can (for which they’ll charge you $80 or so). Sure, you can’t “hot swap” during the day, but if you like the size, it seems well worth the expense to get a new battery installed.

I know you're trying to make a point or something, but Apple or an independent service center will do just that for not much more than the price of the battery.

Lol, indeed! That was a given with the Nokia.
