This comes at a time where I’m considering replacing my 5 year old phone battery due to significant degradation, but at the cost of my phone’s water resistance. I’m all for user repairability and really look forward to these consumer friendly changes.

Unfortunately you’ll have to wait until 2027 so your current 5 year old phone will probably be long dead by that point.

Yeah, I support that decision :P
I personally don’t see that much value in water proofing, I’ve never came across a situation where I thought it would have been rather helpful to have water proofing. Maybe I’ve just been very lucky hehe
