>A lot of us will be happy if a repairable phone costs me twice as much, but lasts 3 times as long because we won't have to throw the entire thing away and buy a new one when a tiny IC, a battery or the display fails.

Isn't the fairphone basically this?

That was a generic statement - I wasn't implying that such devices don't exist. And yes, fairfone is a good example and we need to support brands like those. I'm currently in the process of gradually replacing old devices with repairable ones.
