I can see customers being pissed if say the new model iPhone had a smaller capacity battery. That (IMHO) won't fly.

Considering the size of the later iPhones it should be possible to fit in a larger-capacity battery. If not, just increase the size of the iPhone slightly or put in an easily replaceable battery that passes the Gloves Test (can it be replaced while wearing gloves).
It's like the mods of iPod Classics. People have been taking iPod Classics, replacing the hard drive with flash memory (such as via an SDCard adapter), and putting in a higher capacity battery without increasing the size of the case. One person took three iPod Minis that were considered electronic waste and with a little bit of effort restored them to usability (although they did have some scratches and one had a small crack on the screen).
