You're not going to get a bigger battery though. Battery size is a pretty much maxed out, the only way to make a battery bigger would be to make the battery physically bigger. This would make the phone bigger / heavier. So it's not going to happen.

If you are waiting on some magic new battery chemistry it'll come along eventually but you'll be waiting a while, and stubbornly not having a replaceable battery in the meantime isn't going to make any difference.

There's some huge battery breakthroughs going on right now. You're right though, I would give it another 5 or so before they're widespread among phones.
