Don't want to be pedantic but you don't "own" children, you are parent.

that's fine, pal :)
I am not fighting you, pal. I just want to avoid the argument "it's not because you don't need it that bla-bla", of course, I prefer protection but we need to find the right tradeoff, Glueing case, removing and risking to break a glued expensive and serialized screen to reach the battery: nope
Sorry, but that’s an awful comparison, and it isn’t even true. The Note 4 was actually ~10% thicker than the base iphone 14,
You don't get it, first 10% (actually ~6%) is pretty ridiculous and I took the biggest phone at the time that people were buying and using, actually I still have it. :) We could take the Note20, which is 0.830mm thick (0.785 for the 14 Pro Max and as big). Clearly, in this model, the backplate wouldn't have needed to get glued, if +0.020mm is all it needs to get a removal plate, let's got for it. I take extreme high-end smartphone as a ceilling, smartphone too big to my taste but which people buy and use.
*When I'm back from traveling, I will compare my wife's iPhone Pro max and my Note4, to see if this one is unacceptable. :)
where did you live the last 10years when battery were replaceable on highend smartphones?
I don't say I would need it, but that's not an excuse to not have replaceable battery. A so called waterproof sticker is $0.05. So, it could be sold with the new battery.
I personally have been bringing my phone in the shower for years.
total valide use case. (hem!)
In my mind, in a shower, I use both hands and it doesn't take more than 5min.
I take in account what has been done by the past in the last decade, a Samsung Note 4 (8cores, 4Gb, etc...) had its battery easily replaceable and it is not any bigger than an iPhone 14!
Industrial design is about tradeoffs
Nope, for battery removal, nope!
Are you going to say that pentalobe screws is also a trade-off.
Also, smartphone are just too thin and it's because you use a case that you tend to forget about it.
I have think really really hard to find an event in the last 14years where I would have needed a water resistant phone. It doesn't need to be IP67
To be honest, those never really worked reliably.
i don't know where really lies the issue but loading a bunch of file and some file can freeze, make the app unresponsible that only a kill can resolve.
Is it a gstreamer issue?
Rhythmbox has always looked bloated and never able to do what a simple audacious can do with the same file collection.
Regarding RHEL, they are pushing ITs to the cloud and not their own, I mean, I will do the necessary to not promote, support their products.
What gnome-bluetooth does that bluetooth-manager can't? It's just a button reorganization in GTK4.
Time to buy some shares, I guess.
