What happened to screws? Why is everything frikin glued together???
Cheaper manufacturing costs with the added "benefit" of making it hard to repair so users buy another one if it breaks
waterproofing and cost savings
Water proofing is a good reason though, I want and need my devices water proof
However, at least there are phones that are water proof and still let you exchange the battery
