Removable or non-removable battery for smartphones?

There has been a debate on which phones perform better. Many are used to the removable batteries but the devices that are being released these days are normally equipped with non-removable batteries.
I have been using a phone with a removable battery and it has not failed me. I recently bought a phone for my wife which is designed with a non-removable battery. One thing I have noticed is it heats up easily. There were also several instances while recording a video and it would be cut short because of temperature issues.
It made me think that it may need a radiator. I have several friends who had the same issue with different phones and brands.
What do you think?

I am using a 3 year old phone. My sister just bought an Iphone and she has a Samsung that she has been using for 3 years. I bought it from her and it works fine for me. I have no complaints so far. Of course the performance is a bit behind because of the hardware considering that the model is one of the fastest 3 years ago. Up to now, I think non-removable battery on phones are the best way to go. I think it will also be cheaper should you have problems with the phone's battery in the future.

I use an iPhone and iPhones don't have removable batteries and I haven't encountered such problem like your wife did. Several years ago I used a Samsung android phone and it was a high end model and of course with removable battery coz I even have a spare one and it heats up as

I have heard a lot of good things about Iphones. I have yet to try one. I just can't see myself spending so much on a thing. There are several options which offer the same power as the Iphone or even better. Here in the Philippines, it seems that owning an Iphone is a status symbol. I am not against it but I just see it as impractical.

@jhaidro I don't think there are no other options that's better than iPhone when it comes to non removable battery. I have tried all the best phones out in the market and I don't have the iPhone as a status symbol. I have it coz it's the only phone that has served me well without causing any problem. And it's very convenient for synchronizing with the rest of my gadgets.
