What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

Dude, they have under water cameras , you can swim with fucking whales with a huge ass cameras, I'm not going swimming with my phone. Fick all these ratings, it's not like they would make it cheaper for you. Give me back changeable batteries, I'm not fucking fish.

They're chasing IP ratings. I like not losing a phone when I make a dumb, but prefer lightly sealed or unsealed with a replaceable battery. My LG V20 was the bees knees.

You can still change the batteries, it just takes a heat gun now.

Yes, and you can travel to space with a rocket. Common what kind of argument is that. You forgot the steps in between.

Thanks for sending me to space in this rocket, but how do I get home.

The step in between is to spend $20 on a heat gun.
