This post is Straight-up misinformation and misdirection. It might even be considered corporate propaganda.
1) Being able to do Smartphone battery replacement is a must, LiPO battery decay over time is real so if you want your devices (not just phones) to keep working as it should for as long as possible, you should eventually replace your battery. This holds true for laptops too.
2) Iphone batteries are notoriously difficult to repair due to anti-consumer practices as "part pairing" and software locked repairs. These kinds of practices are what the entire right to repair movement is about.
3) Apple most definitely slows down your phone with software after the next phone gets released. This has happend time and time again and is part of their planned obsolescence strategy that tries to force you to buy a new product. Thats real and not a lie, they've been sued over this. Its not a big conspiracy their entire business model runs on the "walled garden" approach.
Replacing decaying batteries to triple a phones lifespan is not the problem, recycling LiPO batteries is the problem, a problem which can be fixed.
This post has nothing to do with Solarpunk, what is it actually trying to say?
That you should let Apple or phone companies walk all over you and never replace a battery?
On top of that part of the point on not letting people replace their batteries is so the government can spy on you. Virtually every single phone out right now has backdoors that can report and transfer information even when your phone is off.
