I used to fix phones back in the dumbphone days. Other than needing a special screwdriver, it was extremely straightforward as long as you were careful with the ribbon cables. I guess I don't have anything to add, lol, I was just reminiscing.

I actually still have two of the tiny torx screwdrivers I used to use. They're magic because they seem to fit about every tiny random device I've needed to disassemble and I've had them for 17 years without losing them.

I stopped giving a fuck after my first glued phone repair attempt. Until that point it was kind of fun and very rewarding, and the glued ones are just pure frustration. Big tech won, I don't repair phones any more.

I'd rather see Fairphone expand.

I'd they'd bring back the headphone jack and sell them in North America then they might have something.

That,too.

I've been meaning to try out a Fairphone
