For phones, merely a user replaceable battery would be so much of an improvement.

You’ll love the new EU law that forces batteries to be easily removable and replaceable by the end user (by 2027).

Yes, I’ve been using fairphone for a number of year and when I upgraded to 4 I gave my 3 to my mom. Still works great and gets updates as well as spare parts.

The other way round for me. Approaching 70 and get my sons old phones. More than happy.

Age is just a number, it’s where your head is at that counts.

I understand how youth looks on oldies because I remember how I thought when I was younger. I now see how wrong I was.

I can’t wait to get one in the us soon. But I’ll hang onto my current phone for as long as I can before hand. Best way to conserve is to use what you have ATM.

These are sustainable and repairable, not life long. They shouldn’t be advertised as such, it’s blatantly misleading.

Article calls it “longlife,” not “lifelong.”

‘Throwaway culture’ implying it was ever a choice and not something that was forced on us.

Can, but won’t because there’s insufficient incentive to produce and use it.
