I fully expect there to be third party batteries and services to replace the battery in lieu of Apple doing it for an absurd $100. Yeah, that voids your warranty, but you won't be doing it before your warranty runs out anyway (unless you get AppleCare, in which case it should be covered, no?).
i would assume apple care not to cover the battery, since the battery life lost is normal wear and tear. but like the other post said, by that time, you're on to bigger and better things anyways. funny how our standards will change. today, this phone is a big deal. tomorrow, it "might" be your backup.
