    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.

      I feel like if a device is designed well there doesn’t need to be a tradeoff. Removable batteries and water resistant would be amazing.
