It’s unbelievable how people on here are defending manufacturers and designers when we have GoPro which is much more water resistant than most phones out there and has a replaceable battery.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoI'm not sure that people are defending the manufacturers so much as taking a cynical view in which they believe that the manufacturers will find a way to not have user-replaceable batteries.

- can16358p 3y agoThe Smartphone war is MUCH more aggressive than action camera war, and every cubic millimeter counts. Of course an iPhone with a replaceable battery can be made while still being waterproof, but that would lose a lot of real estate.
- xdennis 3y ago"a lot" is too strong.
- pgeorgi 3y ago> every cubic millimeter counts That's a popular claim, but is "this phone has 0.1mm more depth than the other one" seriously a sales argument? Also, this regulation affects everybody, so it still keeps the playing field even.
- o1y32 3y ago...yet people slap a 2mm thick case on their $1k phone without hesitation. I doubt that many people care about the thickness of their phone.
