I wouldn't. My iPhone has been caseless for ~3 years. Dings, falls, 3 drownings, small kids just brushing it against pavement, etc. It's feels indestructible other than few scratches that you need to look for. Battery can be replaced by specialist in 30 minutes or so.

Wasn't it waterproof it already would've wasted 3 batteries + 3 devices.

So because your preference is different, everyone should be forced to conform?

Yes, they should.

(Obviously not but OP's argument is moot anyways as waterproofing and a replaceable battery are not mutually exclusive, we already had phones and other devices with both)

There are Samsung and Nokia phones you can buy if you want a phone with replaceable batteries.

I want an iPhone because it's a more sleek device and it's waterproof.

Why would you want to take options away from me?
