Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

I think all phones should be waterproof to some degree

[โ€“] ericisshort@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Would you pay extra for waterproofing? If so how much?

I think all phone lines should have a waterproof option that doesn't have a an easy to remove battery. That way consumers are given the choice at the time of purchase, and the people that want waterproofing are the only ones affected by the repairability tradeoff.
