The European Union is working on legislation that would require smartphone design to have easily replaceable batteries, but we doubt Apple would agree willingly.

      We had phones with replaceable batteries for a long time. Many of them were waterproof, but none of them exploded on contact with water.

        Water resistance not waterproof. I don’t know if any general consumer phones that are waterproof.

          I don’t follow the metaphor.

      Yes they have, which tells me no engineers were consulted for this statement. Waterproofing and replaceable batteries is a trivial combination.

        This is simply not the case. Saying it’s ‘trivial’ is like saying it’s trivial to travel to Mars because we’ve sent things there before. Reliably sealing anything with a joint is far from trivial.

      Waterproof phones with replaceable batteries are most certainly possible and have existed for over a decade at least. Sorry, but that argument is total bullshit.
