have you tried to repair a regular phone? i have disassembled my fairphone down to the motherboard numerous times just for the fun of it. there are no adhesives to replace in the entire phone. you just need a screwdriver.

This ain’t going to do shit for the environment. You already could replace most shit it was just harder. It’s just another toy for nerds to tinker with.

I have.
For the most part once the screen is removed (heat gun and playing card) everything else isn’t too hard. Some phones are more difficult.

I had a guy replace an iphone screen for like $10, it was a 3 minute job. It’s not as bad as I thought

It’s more like 20-45 for someone less practiced. Once you have done a few though it’s pretty easy, unless there’s some bullshit like hardware id locks.

Prices for parts and the actual service being carried out are often more than half the price of a new device so even people that would want to repair end up not doing so. The Fairphone is seriously improving that equation!
