My GoPro's are waterproof yet they have removable batteries. It's not impossible, but it does mean they have to be every so slightly thicker.

> so slightly thicker.

Maybe if they decrease size of display, it wouldn't be that bulky. And we would finally get a phone again that is not wannabe tablet.

But how are you gonna show all the ads, dark patterns and newsletter signup forms? We can't afford to miss out on all that growth and engagement.

Small screen size doesn’t stop them. They just block the entire screen with that junk!

Waterproof with an external case.

No? My Hero 10 and 11 are both waterproof on their own up to 10m, as long as I use the included battery door (can’t use the optional doors that allow direct access to the USB port, or the media mod).

There is a dive housing that can handle up to 60m depth, but that’s a special case.
