Just build phones with the understanding that batteries are consumables and make them easy to replace and standardized. Then swap in a new $5 battery when you need to so. Make the raw materials reclaimable too of course.

To be clear, you are still taking about rechargeable batteries right? I agree those should be replaceable. I sure as hell don't think phone should use single use batteries!

Yes, 18650 or a standardized rectangular equivalent.

A standard would be nice.... I mean all phones are basically the same size and shape.
