Louis was saying 'Does everyone have collective amnesia?? We had IP68 phones with removable batteries already!'

    I only remember the Samsung rugged ones, which do not look great. Some compromise will be needed to get removable batteries into phones. Compromises the buyer of a gold iPhone Pro Max to flex their wealth won’t appreciate. Not DRMing batteries and giving users access to documentation and tools for replacing the battery requires almost no compromise from no one (except a tiny dent in Apple‘s balance sheet, which they will recover from, I’m sure).

    The Samsung galaxy S5 were IP67 rated with removable battery.
