This is my concern. I typically replace my iPhone with a newer model before I need to replace the battery, but the newer waterproof ratings all of my devices are coming with are nice in case I accidentally drop my device in the tub. I understand why people want to be able to replace batteries and I support options for that, but I’m not sure if you could achieve the level of rating newer devices are with this added requirement.
There are diver watches with replaceable batteries. Probably most of them in fact. The reason these irreplaceable batteries became popular isn't because they're more waterproof, it's because it's just easier to do. Still perfectly possible to have decently waterproof phone with a replaceable battery. It's not like we didn't have such phones back in the day.
It is a common misconception, this and this are the same phone. It's a 2016 model btw.
