The European Union is working on legislation that would require smartphone design to have easily replaceable batteries, but we doubt Apple would agree willingly.

    What a horseshit excuse: add 6 screws on your backplate, give it a frame with center glass, add a grommet. Give a torque setting for the screws to have a good seal in your instructions. L

    Done.

    Samsung did this shit years ago in a phone with a replaceable plastic back.

        Yes, but they have a very sturdy case. The gopro itself (without the case) is not waterproof.

        Edit: looks like I haven’t kept up with the times (username checks out) and now they ARE waterproof even without the case.

          This is wrong btw.

          Since the Hero 5, Go Pros have been waterproof without the case. The current GoPro is waterproof to 10 meters without a case or 60 meters with the case.

          Compared to the current iphone which is only water resistant, so can be submerged for 30 minutes, upto 6 meters.

            Yeah, I’ve updated my reply to reflect that.

      Samsung still does it. It’s called the Xcover lineup.
