The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers.

Anyone else thinking about how their phone is going to be water proof made this way? I kinda like the comfort of them being waterproof.

probably the same way most waterproof devices with removable batteries, like action cams, they use rubber gaskets

I suppose, and the sim cards use that. Guess I have to see it in action without the batteries becoming too small or the phone too fat.

Never occurred to me people thought companies made these phones for naferious/profit purposes. I usually buy used yet only had batteries go bad after years.
