I recommend checking out Fairphone. The phone is completely modular so when something breaks, you can buy a new part and replace it yourself.
I was put off when looking at a Fairphone and checking what spares they sold to find almost all of them sold out.. think it was the FP2 or maybe 3 at that point..
FP really needed to have their house in order way sooner. FP4 looks ok, but their “we’ll try our best” update schedule isn’t.. great..
I think they’re learning though and expect they’ll get it nailed. Just a shame they didn’t come out with such a solid proposition as Framework in the laptop world!
To be fair, framework is an oddity when it comes to tech startups, they must have some sort of business magician over there making sure releases are timely and everything is mostly kept in stock
I bought a Fairphone 4 recently. It's a PITA to import into Canada, but it's well worth it to have a phone that I know will last me a while.
