So... How would you deal with stereo Speakers? Where to put the Antennas which may need to be in the lower part of the phone? Where would the Vibration motor be located?

Regarding simplicity, I understand that waterprofing and handling by the user may be simpler, but everything else is more complicated and expensive:

• Charging hardware in each Battery increases price.
• Complex locking mechanism increases price.
• Protective shell in each Battery increases price (the phone still needs a hard outer shell, but now the battery does aswell).
• Wireless charging hardware in each battery increases price.
• If anything breaks the battery and surrounding hardware needs to be replaced, which is less sustainable.
• Higher capacity is a claim, which has to be substantiated. I expect the opposite.
• New battery system is not back compatible, which increases price and reduces quality for legacy device battery replacements.
• The supply chain gets more complex due to more components.

The current battery is the minimum viable product, which is the best for a sustainable replacement module.
