I've replaced plenty of iPhone batteries. And for those who aren't
skilled enough or don't have the required parts and tools, Apple will
rent the tools needed to users along with detailed instructions and
replacement batteries. So it's untrue to say they are not
user-replaceable.

Devices can run indefinitely even after support expires, if well taken
care of.
