I’ve owned iPhones from the first one. I used to replace batteries all the time on my own. Up until around iPhone 6 when I never needed to do it on my own. The one time I needed to Apple offered the replacement for $29. I now have the 13 which has worked flawlessly except for the battery life which is at 85%. In return I’ve gotten a device that has been rock solid even after multiple drops, I’ve flung it across the room once by accident and it did not skip a beat. Its been dunked in water several times without issue. And apple’s device matching security makes stealing phone, even for parts not worthwhile. All of this is far more valuable to me than being able to replace the battery at a 3rd party shop. For iPhones I do not want repairability vs all the benefits that the current device provides.
You would not have to give up anything of your points, just for having a more easily swappable battery. You can design devices like that, the past shows it.
No device you describe exists by any manufacturer including fairphone. I’ve owned several tanks Nokias. My iPhone 13 easily beat them while being water proof.
