Bull. If you can get current in through the waterproof Type-C port, you can have a battery with a waterproof housing send current through some terminals.
I just don’t get this. I’ve had to get new phones twice now because the battery life got bad enough that my phone wouldn’t last even a single day on a charge, but I’ve never even gotten close to dropping my phone in water. Are people that clumsy that they loosely hold their phone when they’re in the bathroom or on a boat? It’s the same with dropping it in general - I’ve dropped a phone twice since getting my first smartphone in 2010, and both times it was luckily onto carpet. Yeah, survivability is nice, but it’s trumped by everyday usability.
Water resistance.
That’s what they want you to believe
I used to have a water resistant Samsung Galaxy with a removable battery. The just put a seal on the battery cover.

Usb c ports can detect a short and shut off to avoid damage. Batteries can’t do this and that’s why they are sealed into the phone.
Ok, then add that circuitry to the battery package.
Ok. Then the phone is bigger and more expensive once you add that.
