I hope the screen is more durable because the Series 4 screen sucks. I did nothing to mine and I am as careful as can be and it is scratched up big time. 

I have a series 3 and my screen looks as good as the day I got it. 

If you didn't do anything to yours, then how did it get all scratched up? It must have come into contact with something. I don't think that air causes scratches. Do you have long, sharp nails? Are your fingers made of pure diamond?

Who is to say that isn't down to the internals of the phone being largely kept from knock-off products and user access, and the decreased likelihood of dirt and water ingress from their design decisions?

Apple's devices never used to have water ratings before AFAIK, but now, many of their devices do, and those ratings are improving all of the time, and that is clearly due to the design changes in the devices throughout the years where the devices are becoming more closed off. They've already removed the headphone jacks and in the future there will probably be a phone without any ports on it at all.

Having battery compartments is a step in the wrong direction, 180 degrees backwards. It's anti-logical, it's simply stupid.

Let's all go back to the 90's, where phones were fat and they all had these little battery compartments, what a wonderful idea!

The EU is just absolutely disgusting and there is apparently no limit to the amount of idiotic and braindead ideas that they come up with.

They need to leave American companies, Americans and all other normal people who are not a part of the EU out of their schemes, because we will not partake in their lunacy.

If the EU wants replaceable batteries, then they can get Nokia or somebody to provide all phones for them. The EU does not deserve to use modern smart phones or to partake in the modern, civilized world.

Apple should seriously consider telling the EU to take a hike.

The EU is bad for innovation, bad for tech, bad for freedom and bad for all humankind, in my honest opinion.

What's the next ingenious idea that those EU retards will think of next week? I can hardly wait.

China needs to get its act together. 

What do you propose they do on top of locking down 50 million people? Banning contact with animals? 

I’ve read that wet markets may well be a disease vector in situations like this.

Eating bats is probably not a good idea either. They had been suspected as one of the sources.

Sorry, we’ve given up on freedom it’s $$$ that buys elections.  But, feel free to think otherwise...
