It's like I cursed myself. THE DAY AFTER posting this I found out that the enclosed battery in my phone is swelling, and I have no method to remove it.

Very important use case as well. Safety.

That's hopefully also something new battery tech will fix in the future, like solid state batteries.

But there's probably still a few years before those are cheap enough to put in reasonable priced phones.
