      We had phones with replaceable batteries for a long time. Many of them were waterproof, but none of them exploded on contact with water.

        Water resistance not waterproof. I don’t know if any general consumer phones that are waterproof.

      Yes they have, which tells me no engineers were consulted for this statement. Waterproofing and replaceable batteries is a trivial combination.

        This is simply not the case. Saying it’s ‘trivial’ is like saying it’s trivial to travel to Mars because we’ve sent things there before. Reliably sealing anything with a joint is far from trivial.

      Waterproof phones with replaceable batteries are most certainly possible and have existed for over a decade at least. Sorry, but that argument is total bullshit.
