Unless you have giant hands, with modern screen sizes, thinner devices are not merely a luxury. For people that have active outdoor lives, water resistance is also non-negotiable.
The only thing that you should care about if you are being pratical and not just an annoying nagging geek, is that you are not forced to use an authorized reseller to buy a replacement battery, and that batteries can be bought from third party suppliers.
Having to have a corner-shop cheap technician doing it once every 3 years is an acceptable trade-off in exchange to get thinner and water-resistant devices.

- elzbardico 6mo agoLooks like you want the opposite the market wants. On the bright side, at least now you know who wants those things: Almost everybody else other than you.
- intended 6mo agoI also am fine with this, I don’t need thinner than things already are. More battery life and product longevity on the other hand is brilliant.
- mghackerlady 6mo agoExactly. I'd buy an iPad if I wanted thin and big
- raxxorraxor 6mo agoI do rowing and sailing as a sport as well as wind surfing. I want to be able to simply replace the battery of my devices as well as connect them with a cable. There are of course trade-offs here, but also very viable benefits. And no, I never lost a phone to water damage but I can assure you that my devices are far from water-proof. They have quite a bit of wear. Mostly from an active outdoor life... I don't care about some inferiority complex against geeks to accept shitty degradable devices.
