I kind of don’t get this phone. Wouldn’t buying a used iPhone 11 be better for the planet plus, perform better and cost a fraction of the fairphone?

Prediction. Fairphone goes out of business in 3 year due to... lack of demand.

Sounds like a review where you go out of your way to make the best in class laptop sound just ok.

No device you describe exists by any manufacturer including fairphone. I’ve owned several tanks Nokias. My iPhone 13 easily beat them while being water proof.

I've owned iPhones from the first one. I used to replace batteries all the time on my own. Up until around iPhone 6 when I never needed to do it on my own. The one time I needed to Apple offered the replacement for $29. I now have the 13 which has worked flawlessly except for the battery life which is at 85%. In return I've gotten a device that has been rock solid even after multiple drops, I've flung it across the room once by accident and it did not skip a beat. Its been dunked in water several times without issue. And apple's device matching security makes stealing phone, even for parts not worthwhile. All of this is far more valuable to me than being able to replace the battery at a 3rd party shop. For iPhones I do not want repairability vs all the benefits that the current device provides.

I don’t need right to repair. Just make sure there are no smartphone monopolies and the. Let the market create products that people want. The fairphone exists. Why arbitrarily forcing a feature that 98% of the proposition does not want? Any anti competitive actions that unnecessarily prevent repair should be stopped.
