Now this is nice. Hopefully 3rd party manufacturers can also provide a longer life span for the device.

    Wasnt the law that you could still build not replacable batteries because of water resistance?

    I would love to have that option back again, since batteries are the main part why phones die right now.

      Especially frustrating when Samsung already built phones with replaceable batteries AND water resistance. (The IP rating was lower though)

      I hope there is a high rating limit, so they can’t just add “survises a droplet” as reason to not have a replaceable battery.

        I guess there is also the problem with glas and how seemles everything should be. I remember that plastic cases were easy to open. Now we have to remove glue to get it open. I still dont understand with those glass backsides… i think nearly everyone uses a case.

        I dont even care for that water resistance, as soon water gets in, there is no warranty for it. I think i saw that apple still puts some water sticker inside the phone, to see if water destroyed it.
