I don't mind Apples approach as it keeps the phone thin and sealed and a lot of people trade in or sell their phone after a few years and get a new one before the battery needs replacing.  For those that keep for awhile and may swap out the battery themselves?  I would bet a majority would just throw the old battery in the garbage which defeats the purpose of this whole ruling.  At least if you go to apple for a new battery they properly recycle it.  Seems like a pretty dumb ruling for the supposed purpose.
