    So this essentially means that Apple can just keep making phones the way they always have, and have you go to the “professionals” at the Apple Store to replace your battery?

      It essentially means that anyone can just keep making phones like that. Personally I’d take IP67/IP68 over “user replaceable battery” any day as it still can be replaced but to me watertightness is one of the most important features for such device. I already had two “waterproof” phones with replaceable battery but both were leaking water inside (Galaxy S5 and Motorola Defy).
