Every country should do this. It's just a shame we have to wait until 2027 to see these phones.
Fairphone does this now and have for years.
Yes but their price is kinda steep
There are cheaper phones with better specs out there, without a doubt. But few, if any, with the same focus on repairability and sustainability.
Awesome!
So... At the end lf the article, it also mention non-recheargeable battery used in devices. But where? (watch, maybe?). All of those I know are the easiliy repleaceable ones which can also be switched with recheargeable one's.
(Actually, if Wikipedia is to trust and up to date. Those so called primary battery indeed have an important market share)
My three iPhones were the only devices that had non-replaceable batteries. Every device before and after those had it including my current one; Samsung XCover 6Pro
Bought a xcover 4s for this reason, 3 years later it ended up dying for absolutely no reason. Battery is fine tho, even bought another to make sure that wasn’t it.
When you can’t test voltage because you have no idea what it’s supposed to be, it makes any réparation absolutely impossible (other than something visually broken)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
