Removable Battery in iPhone 4?

Via AppleInsider:

The Korea Times claimed Tuesday that sources at KT said the new phone would have an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen, would feature video chat functionality, and a removable battery is "highly likely." The report also said the new iPhone would include dual-core processors, more powerful graphics capabilities, and a superior camera.


I find this all "highly likely," except the part about the removable battery. First, it's not the Apple way. And second, aside from the outcry around the time the original iPhone came out in 2007, when people just couldn't fathom not being able to change out their battery because they had never used a device that didn't have a removable battery, I haven't hard a peep of complaint about wanting a removable/exchangeable battery. People moan about battery life, but mainly from people who use it all day on the web or watching video. There's no phone that's going to be able to be able to last all day every day like that in constant high processor usage.
