    And phones are currently the most expensive they’ve ever been, even adjusted to inflation. Waterproofing with replacable batteries would barely dent the price, especially after a few years.

      I highly doubt that they’re the most expensive they’ve ever been. iPhones and flagship phones may well be because the companies that make them know the morons that buy them will pay $1000 for a status symbol, but you can purchase new smartphones for under $200. Considering the original iPhone cost triple that, your claim seems ludicrous.
