I’ve a fairphone 3 which had a faulty bottom-part (the microphone/charging module).
After a drop in water, the faulty part was completely broken so I tried to order one from their shop.
This part has been "out-of-stock" for more than two years now. I’ve a repairable smartphone that I can’t repair. Meanwhile, the FP4 and the FP5 replaced the FP3.
So much for trying to "not consume".
I hate Apple but my wife manage to keep her iphones 3/4 years each.

- JoshTko 3y agoWould you continue to choose the fairphone 3 if parts were readily available? It seems that the modularity/repairability reduces reliability relative to the iPhone. My iPhone mini 13 is a tank possibly even more than the Nokias that I've had.
