I’m not sure I understand. An iPhone SE is cheaper than a fairphone, with longer support and far better specs. From a quick search, third party knock off replacement screens and battery replacement kits are cheaper for an iPhone, I assume due to the orders of magnitude difference in scale.
The math isn’t working, from my simple perspective.
- softfalcon 3y agoThe person was asking about why they should care about repair-ability as an iPhone user. I wasn't trying to do a cost-benefit analysis of iPhone vs FairPhone. I personally don't really care what FairPhone does. I care about general repair-ability of all tech and what benefits that has for flexibility, affordability, and competition in the economy and for the end user.
