Batteries for newer phones, especially smartphones, are expensive. Granted, some of the lower end phone batteries are only $20-$30, still thats money that you can uses elsewhere.

well you sound angry my friend, how the ladder works is maker sells wholesale in "bulk" then the company then sells retail as single. unless you want to buy 4,000 batteries at $10 you can for $40,000 or you can buy 1 for $30-40 dollars. $40,000 > $40.
