    So basically we’d like a replaceable, thinner battery; a 3,5 mm jack, and let’s keep it water-resistant/proof. That would be great.

    This is great news, but I hope they also take steps to incentivise manufacturers to actually sell the batteries. Sure, you can get them on ebay, but the quality is variable.

    Good, the biggest reason I have to buy a new phone is the battery effectively dying. I’ve already decided that when my current phone needs to be charged at least twice a day then I’m buying a phone with replaceable parts, something like Fairphone. From experience my phone has at least 2, maybe even 3, years left so maybe by that time I have a lot more options to choose from.

      Loss of headphone jacks was the worst change for me. I’ve never had a problem with batteries. My phones have become obsolete due to software updates that brick them or because the hardware can’t get the latest security updates and I don’t want to take the risk. A power button went on one phone (Google Nexus something or other) because LG(?) installed a weak plastic rocker and made it unreplaceable. Absolutely nothing else wrong with it but it was just out of warranty.
