I do admit, the battery issue is outrageous. But funny enough, it's Apple best trick. They do it with every product. The original Macintosh 128 all the way through the Apple IIfx had soldered in batteries. When your time started to go all funky, you had to take the computer into the shop for a, you guessed it, $99 battery replacement.
Steve Jobs may be brilliant, but he certainly plays the same tune a lot.
