Apple have been able to (1) increase the battery capacity in their products and (2) create more space within their products, simply due to transforming "replaceable" batteries into "fixed" batteries. This eliminates a substantial amount of packaging within the battery, and creates more real estate in the device. My iPods, iPhones, iPads and Macbooks have never needed replacement batteries.
I have just completed reading Steve Jobs' bio for the second time and all of the Apple philosophies and general reasonings behind their design and functionality decisions are detailed in the book. And, I might add, make perfect sense to me. I fully recommend the book to anyone interested in technology and the history of computers in general.
