   what if we paused the innovation on making phones slimmer and started attempting to innovate on ways to make a waterproof phone that has a removable battery

     @sun Impossible. Rubber gaskets won't be discovered until 2152.

     @SlicerDicer @sun so it's totally possible but the chance of failure if you didn't put the back on properly or damaged the gasket is the big risk
     
     honestly the battery on iphones should be in a compartment with a door or something so you can pop it open (maybe a screw holding it closed?) and slide the battery out. This would of course require they move away from the soft batteries but they're already doing that for the new Pro models

     @feld @SlicerDicer @sun Remember biology class where you'd take a scalpel at a fish, Motorola Defy (which is fairly water-resistant) I had back then got some bits of fish on it. And so of course freaked some people when I just passed the phone under the tap.
