gollark: I'd prefer the ability to swap out batteries over waterproofing.
gollark: I have a long wishlist for phones, but I think the most important thing is actual replaceable parts.
gollark: It's weird, because back in 2017 or so I think most phones, or at least a lot of them, had removable batteries. Now basically none do.

gollark: I've managed to avoid C and assembly so far and am happier for it.
