Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won’t anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

They’re not even waterproof though, just water resistant. But even the weather resistance from a few years back when phones had headphone jacks and replaceable batteries seemed sufficient. Now they’re overkill, being able to handle being dipped in water. I mean it’s fine if they make phones like that, but does everything need that kind of resistance?

My S8 has been dunked in water and sprayed by the shower plenty of times with no issue. It might not be strictly water proof but it’s kind of a semantic difference.

And nah, not everything needs that kind of resistance, but it’s nice to have
