We had replaceable batteries in phones for years. There's no reason battery replacement has to involve 20 steps and require ungluing the screen. | ||

Exactly, this isn't something new. It was removed for no reason other than aesthetics and possibly to force users to buy a new device every few years. May I remind you that the fist few iPhones were not water proof, yet the battery was not removable. Laptops are not waterproof but those batteries are also no longer removable. | ||

There are even fully water resistant (and IP rated phones) currently made with replaceable batteries. Best of all worlds | ||
