    The $80 off-contract phone I owned in highschool had:

    • expandable storage
    • a 3.5mm jack
    • a user replaceable battery
    • ip57 water resistance

    I used to shower with this phone regularly. I dropped it in a glass of water the day I bought it. If kyocera can do it for $80 10 years ago, modern manufacturers can do it now for $1000. Turns out coating your sockets, and putting gromets on your battery covers costs literal fucking pennies.

    Stop simping for corporations who are looking for an excuse to squeeze out glued together shit.
