Yeaaah, you can replace the battery... but also the USB-C port, the loudspeaker, selfie camera or back camera, among other parts. The Fairphone 5 is made out of 10 swappable modules that you can easily replace with a regular screwdriver and 0 expert knowledge! :)

[@FlipFlopGod]

While I am all for rights to repair. Some companies seal up the back glass or cover for IPS water resistance. In other words, it’s really hard to create a repairable phone with GOOD water resistance, not just “okay”.

[@LuquonhasBR]

Bro just the possibility to have 2 batteries and when one is out off charge you just open and replace with the other, just like a clip in a gun, its amazing

Until the new big thing - water resistance. And usage of expensive materials, like glass and aluminum. No one would buy any cheap-shit-plastic phone today. It’s de facto impossible to be water resistent and having Glasback with changeable batteries. And If I had to choose… I stick with today’s quality.

[@MomoVantage]

​@@masterImacbut with how tech had evolved over the last 10 years and with the amount of money these companies have they can definitely develop a water tight design that has a removable back. Stop sticking up for corporations, they don't care about you.

[@chinmoykalita5959]

Before both feature and smartphones came with removable battery and if there were any battery issues one can easily buy a battery from a brick and mortar store. Then companies started making phones with non removable battery and they came at a premium price. Later even the entry level and mid range phones came with that sort of design. Now what's going to happen is that all the companies will start giving removable battery feature to their premium phones. It's like a cycle you know. I believe same sort of thing is going with the Bezels. When they will run out of room for increasing the screen size or when the whole phone will turn into a screen. Some company will introduce a phone with Bezels and will call it a new thing.

[@GuardianOfTheHeaven]

Aah, the good o' days when we still held onto the phones that will work for several years before needing their battery replaced, and that's about it. The Nokia is definitely famous for it, and they certainly lasted for a really long time indeed. PCs, unfortunately, were difficult to upgrade, if not outright replace, without the risks unless you're one of those overclockers. But imagine one day, their parts can be upgraded without costing so much, and likewise with the smartphones, but until then, we can only dream.

Well apple is not the same as android, most android companies don’t need to pay for os systems or security. Apple will never do replaceable batteries because they need people buying new phones because it’s easier for them to update os and easier to fund. And security is also a big part which is expensive. I mean apple didn’t even give the fbi text messages of a serial killer when asked just shows how protective they really are to keep your privacy especially when fbi has a 99% win chance in court so they got balls to stand up
