I’ve had it since 2016, so it’s close to 7 years now. I replaced the screen and battery on it, but it has been pretty solid. Actually, uptime is something that’s an advantage for self-repairable stuff: when the screen needed to be replaced, it still worked enough to use, which I did until the replacement arrived. Takes a minute to swap the screen and then it’s running again.

I’m based in Germany so I only used it in the US when traveling. Maybe the 5 will be the one where they decide to cover the US officially? It seems like there’s more attention to repairability than there was 7 years ago…
