I agree in that it’s not Purism’s fault. On the other hand, I feel that people who are not from the US and believe a Librem 5 to be a sustainable investment should be made aware of this issue. And it’s not worse for other modern phones. On the contrary: if I wanted my iPhone battery replaced, I’d have a choice between a nearby Apple Store and countless independent repair shops, all of whom would be able to source and replace the battery in no time. But with the Librem, I’ll be out of luck. Nobody in Europe would be able and willing to source that battery for me if I needed one. Few potential buyers aren’t aware of that; Purism understandably doesn’t advertise it. So here I am spreading the word.
