As long as they can engineer a water resistant phone with these guidelines I'm all for it.
I have think really really hard to find an event in the last 14years where I would have needed a water resistant phone. It doesn't need to be IP67
It's not that you need it. It's just that you'll thank yourself if you drop it in water or if you wanna use it in certain weather
I don't say I would need it, but that's not an excuse to not have replaceable battery. A so called waterproof sticker is $0.05. So, it could be sold with the new battery.
