Oddly enough for me, my laptop battery has aged much faster than my phone one. And they’re almost exactly the same age.
I remember the sealed battery covers. They sucked. They maybe worked for light splashes but modern phones are fully submergable. And I remember the wireless charging things behind the battery cover. Those sucked too. Plus you have all the plastic bulk to encase the batteries.
