I wish we could replace batteries...
Same... It should really be a default or a regulation... It also annoys me how flawed the fair phones are as devices...
Replaceable batteries are coming back in the EU though due to the battery regulation (EU) 2023/1542 which requires portable batteries to be removable and replaceable
What flaws are you referring to? I'm perfectly happy with my FP4. Just wondering what flaws I should be annoyed about.
For me, lack of security. I also vaguely remember hearing that their repairability was overstated/limited due to part shortages, but I never looked into that as the lack of security is a deal breaker for me.

I got the first version of the terraube. It was awful, which is really unfortunate. They did a good job on the hardware-ish...but they only updated the software once. So the phone, after 3 1/2 years was stuck 2 years into the software lifecycle. Then they released the Terracube 2...which has the same issue. In addition, when I tried to get the original phone serviced, they upped the price of the repairs to about the same as the terracube 2, after promising it would only be 60$ a repair when I first got the phone.
Fairphone was a phone that I had looked at too...but its over 1000+ and I just cant see a phone that expensive.
