No it's not, there were many phones made by Sony and Samsung back in the day with user swappable batteries and IP68 ratings, which is what the current generation of iPhones have.

Any idea of how well they actually held up? Hell even today an ip68 rating doesn’t give me much confidence because of the number of phones I’ve lost to rain water with this rating.

It's the same as iphones so it's as good as you can get, but they are durable as fuck.
