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: That's good. We need phones which can actually be repaired. Ideally swappable USB-C ports, screens and batteries with actual standards for multiple phones.
gollark: I've managed to avoid C and assembly so far and am happier for it.
