A phone can still be watertight and have a replaceable battery (see Samsung Galaxy S5).

  Here is one example [1] of the many from a quick google: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=galaxy+s5+water+damage https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=galaxy+s5+water+damage My point is that the rating can be gamed, and relying on users to do something right is going to turn out badly for the users while the company points at small print.

    Doing the same search for the iPhone 14 also results a bunch of articles about how to recover from it and Reddit threads about it being damaged from water. And the iPhone 14 has had many years of improvements since the S5.

      And do you think a replaceable battery will make this better or worse?
