Well, yeah. Half of those are a decade old, the rest are funky little
flip phones which I suppose are fine if you don't use Signal or maps
and don't ever want to check your mail on your phone.

You can replace any phone's battery if you have the tools and the parts,
but that's hardly the same thing as one where you can pop the back off
and unplug the battery.

I have one of these that Tracfone sent me when they went Verizon-only
and my old AT&T phone stopped working. It has a replacable battery
but its main virtue is that it is so cheap that if you dropped it in
the toilet, it's not worth reaching down to retrieve it.
