So, a swappable battery is now considered "repairable"? We're rapidly devolving.

The removal of swappable batteries was the one thing I missed most about old smartphones, I'm glad to have it back
According to the article you can screw out and replace the charging port and screen too

I suppose that's possibly handy, the problem is these "repairable" phones are usually specced pretty low, making them unattractive to enthusiasts who would actually be likely to do any repairs. Replacing the battery isn't something normally done within the 3-year or so life of a phone, anyway. I'd frankly be much more interested in a phone that's easy to install alternative software on.
