Yeah. But you remove the sim card assembly (BOM), connector/solder pads (system design and internal space) and remove potential ingress points. It’s just easier and cheaper from engineering through to production.
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.
Idk, apple replaced their sim card slot with… Plastic. A plastic insert. “Internal Space”
They’re making SIM and non-SIM versions so that let’s them use the same tooling for both versions. It’s still a BOM reduction, but yeah, the other points would be a much smaller impact.
