No one said no glued batteries, they just have to be easily removable. So if they add pull tabs, pentalope screws for disassembly they are still technically replaceable. So iPhone is already there. What they wish to ban is things like glued back covers and batteries that can't be unstuck without specialized equipment. It doesn't mean will get clip on covers and batteries like we use to have. Still it's a great move and will make sure design in future is as such that you don't need heat gun to access battery.
