    There’s a clear trajectory where this is heading. From 2027 the EU will enforce replaceable batteries and it looks like some other markets might follow. Software support duration is increasing a lot as well.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d get most of the Fairphone’s benefits on a regular Samsung in a few years.

      Yes, very realistic scenario. TBF, I cannot remember if I ever upgraded a phone due to the battery issuses.

      So, for me personally, replaceable battery is not a significant benefit.

      Well…aside from the fair supply chain, liveable wages, humane working conditions, environment footprint…
