Lmao no this is shit. Say goodbye to durability as well as any water resistance while making phones bulkier to boot. You can already swap the battery on most non-fruit-branded phones while maintaining water resistance if you do it right (actually it would "reup" the water resistance if anything due to fresh adhesive, again assuming it's done right).

They found out how to waterproof walkmans with replaceable batteries and cds. Pretty sure they can figure out phones.
