I wonder how apple will react to this
Apple fanboy here… but they’re probably gonna market the feature with some cool new trendy name and make the battery replacements proprietary.
I mean....battery replacements were ALWAYS proprietary. You can't pop a Galaxy S4 battery in a GS 5.
You can buy third party batteries. The batteries are customized to the phone, but they aren't exclusively sold by the OEM.
