gollark: Since my current device doesn't have a replaceable battery, and is becoming increasingly less usable, I don't know *what* I'll replace it with which won't break in the same ways.
gollark: My *previous* phone became unusable due to not actually holding in μUSB cables, preventing me from charging it. Though I think that's partly because the port was mildly out of spec.
gollark: Also, my phone (~2 years old) has a USB-C port which cables randomly come loose from now.
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.
