Fair enough.

Edit: lol someone downvoted me. Did they really think a repairable fucking ring is feasible at all?

Who’s expecting a computer to last about 2 years?

The warranty is 2 years. Warranty is the confidence a company has that it will last as long as that. Batteries eventually die, so that is the one part in mobile devices we can guarantee needs to be replaced.

Manufacturers make bigger devices difficult to repair - so it being a small form factor is just an excuse. When they try and it fails then is the time to consider if it’s feasible. Fairphone products are probably average at best but you can at least replace the batteries in a small device like their earbuds (Fairbuds), and assume they will get better at making their repairable devices.

For that price, kinda. But only if you ignore how it’s build, probably all sunk in epoxy for the waterproofing.

None of the samsung devices are in my book. Especially since they strive to physically destroy all of your devices if their certified services detected that you have done any servicing to it.

By the way, does anyone know if this also applies to replacing the software?
Because then, thanks to their e-fuses, flashing the original software will not save you either.
