How would you do screen replacement? That is a common repair since people drop their phones and currently you can get your phone repaired by some teenager in a booth at the mall. If you fill the phone with epoxy, how are you detaching the screen, and getting a new ribbon cable through the epoxy?

So what if you can't replace a screen on an epoxy-filled cell phone? That's a small price to pay for knowing that your camera will survive if you take a one-way trip to crush-depth.

Which means air space that can get crushed. Either the phone is solid or it isn't.

  Would note that air isn't the only substance in a phone that compresses under 38 MPa. (Batteries come to mind.)

Just like they do it today - a lot of grinding, swearing and overall understanding what the civilization is going in not quite the right direction.
