Yeah, that’s possible. I’m more worried about a built in battery chip preventing users from sharing batteries, like once it’s installed, it’s activated and it’s locked to that device. Meaning you’d have to buy only from that manufacture and the price will be higher.
They could start selling tiers of battery quality which TBH sounds awful if they make the best battery life duration paywalled.

I’m hopeful that the EU would put a stop to this. They are pretty progressive on that front generally.
It needs to meet spec though.
Making them easily replaceable will create a market, a better one than we have today, almost any battery you can buy today as end-user are trash-tier.
Quality 3rd party batteries will rise up if the phone manufacturers fuck around.
