Can't wait for the EU's user-replaceable batteries regulation to take effect in 2027. Finally we can go back to what we used to have!

How would this impact the phones water resistance, I wonder? A removable battery would require some sort of user serviceable (breakable) seal on the door.

Maybe they could put the seal at the connection on the battery to the phone instead of around the door where it is likely to get debris lodged in it.
