It shouldn't be this all-or-nothing approach. We need choice and diversity in these markets. Same applies to screen sizes, btw — everyone's different, some people do watch video on their phone, some are disgusted by the very idea of it.
I dont understand your point, so you want companies to build two types of devices, one which is not water resistant/proof but can be easily repaired and another device which is water resistant but hard to repair?
Which is probably a good indication that the market for other styles of devices is quite small, right?
There used to lots of diversity but after the Iphone the market wants an impenetrable giant glass slab.
Agreed. It's shame that all Android device manufacturers similar devices.
