Apple is sending out checks for ‘batterygate’ class action claims::Apple has begun sending money to people whose iPhones were intentionally throttled in the iPhone 6, 6S, and 7 lines, as well as the first iPhone SE.
How would this impact the phones water resistance, I wonder? A removable battery would require some sort of user serviceable (breakable) seal on the door.
Maybe they could put the seal at the connection on the battery to the phone instead of around the door where it is likely to get debris lodged in it.
Good question. I imagine they could still make the internals of the phone waterproof. Getting your phone wet might destroy the battery but not the expensive phone. If they can make waterproof phones with USB-C ports which provide power then they should be able to make waterproof phones with a hidden “port” for the battery under a cover.
