I would disagree. I purchased devices back in the 1990's that had batteries that were glued to the main board with soldered connections. The iPhone was designed around the idea of a non-removable battery and there are valid reasons for doing so—environmental sealing, being able to customize the battery shape to make use of every cubic millimeter are two that come to mind—however, Apple did not invent the idea.
