I wonder how long until no one can repair phones anymore, because they are welded shut.

I wonder how long until no one can repair phones anymore, because they are welded shut.
- ddebernardy 8y agoSeems unlikely IMHO. Devices need or will need to be serviceable or recyclable in some places.
- taneq 8y agoIt's kind of dubious whether phones can really be repaired now. It's often possible to get a phone running again but it's never going to be quite the same after it's been pulled apart. I'd draw the line at the point where they started gluing them shut instead of using screws and (reusable) clips.
- d-sc 8y agoWe have glues that for practical purposes would be just as hard to repair. Repairability is generally a choice of the designer/manufacturer. Cars have lots of welding on them and are still plenty repairable.
