      Lmao no this is shit. Say goodbye to durability as well as any water resistance while making phones bulkier to boot. You can already swap the battery on most non-fruit-branded phones while maintaining water resistance if you do it right (actually it would “reup” the water resistance if anything due to fresh adhesive, again assuming it’s done right).

        Screw the environment. I demand convenience instead!

        The level of entitlement people have nowadays is insane, especially regarding issues that they are happy to say are super important. They just refuse to give up an iota of convenience to do anything about it.
