Spot on. They boast about how the iPhone is IP68, but IPX7 means...
There may be a tradeoff, but I'll take this level of waterproofing with a removable battery over being able to dunk my phone under water for 2 hours without a removable battery. Like that's an easy choice.
It's all moot anyway. This is just Apple trying to justify their anti-consumer standpoint of wanting to own the device after it's been bought, like every other fucking manufacturer out there. We will own nothing and we'll be happy about it.
