No, because
the battery is not trivially replaceable ;-)
Having graduated to the 16C from the TI "Programmer", one thing that

microwatts. Pretty remarkable for an early 80's design. An iPhone drinks what, a couple of watts?
According to this,

the CPU draw is around 180 milliwatts; I don't know if that includes the
PowerVR chip. The 3GS probably draws somewhat less due to its more efficient
core.
