Sure, but there won't be the option to buy a phone that doesn't have to compromise for a (easily) replaceable battery. Manufacturers don't just do that for more profit, it makes engineering the device easier and requires less compromises.

Stuff like that needs space, so the phone is going to get bigger or the battery smaller.
