    Yeah, if you keep a phone for 5-6 years, you usually only have to change the battery once. I reckon the dust hasn’t settled on this though - I think there will be compromise where battery replacements are cheaper, but still need to be done by a professional

      I think we can have a law that says if a device does not have resistance against water submersion, it must have replaceable batteries.
