say goodbye to IP67 rating

No need, Samsung's S5 had IP67 and a removable battery. (and a 3.5mm audio jack)

There was also their Xcover 4 with a IP68 rating, removable battery and headphone jack. That phone was more designed for commercial purposes though, putting ruggedness first.

in that case, let's hope apple - and anyone else who plans to sell on the eu market - will make something like that happen again without compromising other aspects of the phone (design).
