I saw this somewhere else on Lemmy yesterday, but I'm a bit concerned about waterproofness if this goes forward.
If they mandate removable back covers for easier access to the battery, this could be a challenge for waterproofing capabilities, MagSafe, and wireless charging (from what I can remember right now).
Hopefully they'll make it so that we're able to keep all these features and have easier battery swapping.
