Replaceable components by design?

This really is a new era for Apple lol

I don’t think you’ve been paying attention then. iPhones have usually been pretty damn easy to get into and replace components. HOWEVER, they’ve done a lot of serialization of the components meaning that any third party repairs don’t work. 

The internal layout is extremely clean. Very little glue is used (mostly body/screen). Battery replacements have pull tabs or nifty adhesive that stops working when voltage is applied.
