You send it back to Apple and they replace the battery and dispose of the old one safely for a reasonable fee. Or you can send it to one of many third party battery changing companies who may be cheaper. Making lithium batteries user replaceable is an incredibly bad idea environmentally speaking because the old one is going in the household trash 99% of the time. Like people who change their own oil and chuck the old stuff down the drain.
