In a bid to reduce global electronic waste, Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves. What makes its technology so sustainable?
The phone I mentioned also has a bigger battery capacity. I guess repairability brings some space inefficiency since you need to make all the components accessible.
Yup, screws and tabs take up more space than glue unfortunately. I’m not happy about the loss of the headphone jack, but I’d take a repairable phone from a company that has staying power than a comparable phone that isn’t repairable with a headphone jack.
