I've missed swappable batteries so much. The convenience of having another loaded battery with you, increased drop resistance due to parts flying, replaceability. So good.

If you're worried of water resistance, get a water-proof case or be more careful with the device costing you possibly hundreds of dollars.

IDK about this one, removable batteries will generally mean less water resistance won't it? Also, these days batteries are custom built for every phone so that they can be as large as possible. Forcing them to be easily replaceable might screw that up.

I love the EU's approach to consumer repair rights, but I think this one might do more harm than good.

I'm all in for replaceable batteries. But don't think swappable batteries are possible with modern devices.
