Why did the iPhone, and after that the smartphone industry as a 
whole, completely crush the classic cell phones when they have 
such a poor battery life? Smartphones don't have everything 
previous phones had. The pros simply outweighed the cons.

You don't need a new product to do everything the previous 
product did for it to be successful enough to replace it.
I used to be all about being able to replace a phone's battery 
manually. With basically any newer smartphone now, you can't 
anymore.

Just because phones aren't doing everything PC's are doing 
doesn't mean they can't overtake their market. All they need is 
to have sufficient advantages over them, and even if you don't 
think this is the case right now, the average user could very 
well disagree.
Just like with removable batteries (which wasn't even a really 
technical thing).
