Why each option
Apple iOS devices are designed with non-user-replaceable batteries that are integrated into the device and require Apple or an authorized service provider to replace.
iOS device batteries are lithium-ion or lithium-polymer, not NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride), which is an older battery technology no longer used in modern smartphones.
Wireless charging capability exists on some Android devices but is not a universal Android feature and is not what distinguishes Android from iOS batteries.
iOS and Android batteries are not interchangeable; they differ in form factor, connector, and physical dimensions specific to each device model.
Apple's iOS device design philosophy prioritizes thinness and integration, resulting in batteries that are glued and secured within the chassis and not accessible or replaceable by end users. In contrast, many Android devices, particularly older models, featured removable back covers with user-replaceable batteries.
