Apple doesn’t sell many $300 new phones, so it is a useful feature for the phones they do sell. I’m probably just clumsy, but I’ve dropped my phone into bodies of water twice in 10 years. I also know of 2 people that have dropped their phones in toilets. The Venm diagram of expensive phones and clumsy people is large enough to make this a useful feature for some. I wouldn’t mind if the regulation was that a phone company must offer at least one model with detachable battery, but I’d be sad if the amazing advances in waterproof phones were compromised.
