The Galaxy S5 was IP67 waterproof and had a removable battery and a headphone jack.

Did they have a stipulation that if the consumer opened the phone the IP rating would be nullified?

Genuinely asking, sounds like something a corpo would do.

When it was new. The more you opened the back plate, the more that hair thin gasket eroded and eventually just broke.

When I opened up my pixel to replace its screen I was able to replace the lining with a fresh one. Seems like that should be possible with a removable battery as well, no?

How often are you planning to open it? It's not like you have to replace the battery every year...

Everyday, when it dies so you swap in your backup pack?
