I have a Fairphone 5, chose that mainly because of repairability. :)
jqpabc123•37m ago
The new $650 Fairphone Gen 6+ is designed both for longevity and easy repairability.

I applaud the concept but to see how well this actually holds up in the real world, let's check the Fairphone web site.

Where are the parts to repair any version prior to Gen 6? I don't see them listed anywhere.

So it would appear that "longevity" is actually pretty limited.

VileSquirrel•27m ago
It's in shop --> "all parts" (under the "spare parts" header)

Here are the ones for the fairphone 4: https://www.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?catego...

I however couldn't find the ones for the fairphone 3. The fairphone 4 is from 2021, which is not that old.

jqpabc123•22m ago
So "longevity" is actually about 5 years. Or less if you live in the USA.

Early Fairphones were not necessarily designed for repairability. That is a principle that has emerged significantly in the last few iterations. The FP4 was the first that was really designed and marketed as fully modular from what I remember, and parts are still available.

For the American piece, the FP6 was the first available from OEM in the US.

Fairphone 4 (2021) parts: https://www.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?catego...

Fairphone 5 (2023) parts: https://www.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?catego...

Parts for the Fairphone 2 (2015) and Fairphone 3 (2019) aren't available anymore, but I suppose that's not all that surprising after 11 respective 7 years.

Afair, they started running out of some Fairphone 3 spare parts around 2024 and kept the ones they still had for warranty repairs. Source: I own one (and switched to the Fairphone 6 early this year).

A simple Google search showed they are right here: https://www.fairphone.com/spare-parts

This is a good point. Ifixit has guides for all the phones, but it reports that none of the replacement parts are actually sold in the United States.

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Fairphone

Reminds me of the cold steel throwing axe that I bought that specifically has replaceable handles in case you break one. No one actually sells the handles though!

Great what they are doing - yet I found Shiftphone to be also fair, equally or better repairable and even more open for alternative Operating Systems. I think Fairphone supports 2 OSes officially, Shiftphone has a whole custom ROM list of ~10.

Not an expert, but I recently heard that apparently not everything is perfect in fairphone land: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devices-lacking-stand...
