I disagree (Disclaimer: I&#x27;m one of the early backers). The current trend in mobile phones is towards more closed systems. Components are glued together, and often it&#x27;s not often possible for a user to even change a battery. That&#x27;s what I would call a big monster.<p>The Fairphone is the first phone to get a 10&#x2F;10 repairability score from ifixit. Though there could be more components, it&#x27;s definitely a step in the right direction. The whole point is to a able to use that phone for 4-5 years. If one part breaks (touchscreen, battery), you can replace that part yourself. If a better camera becomes available, I can choose to update just the camera instead of buying a new phone. Cheaper for me as a user and better for the environment.
