This does prevent hacking (especially in the case of snooping software). I read that corporate users of smart phones are encouraged to remove the batteries when the phones aren’t in use.

That doesn’t mean to say the Apple battery is any more environmentally friendly. I’d hardly call the fact that it isn’t removable a good thing either, as it’s going to be a problem for consumers who need the battery replacing - without having to return the iPhone to Apple. No one here ever had anything lost in the post? I’d call that a security issue.

How does a battery become a security issue? Does a removable battery prevent the phone from being stolen or hacked? If it is the loss of power, i've seen batteries that can plug into USB devices to power them up, so having an external battery can keep the iPhone or whatever device going making for a UNIVERSAL external battery rather than a specialized internal battery. Replacable batteries can also lead to an increase in the number of batteries polluting our planet as people discard them. Whether it is batteries that fit into the phone or are external, it boils down to the same thing anyway. This battery stuff being a problem for the iPhone or iPod is pure FUD and BS. “The current evolution of iPhone does not have a removable battery, which can become a security issue.”
