I stopped giving a fuck after my first glued phone repair attempt. Until that point it was kind of fun and very rewarding, and the glued ones are just pure frustration. Big tech won, I don't repair phones any more.
Framework needs to make a phone lol.
I'd rather see Fairphone expand.
I'd they'd bring back the headphone jack and sell them in North America then they might have something.
That,too.
I've been meaning to try out a Fairphone
You just need a bit of practice. I also broke the rear glass on my first attempt repairing a glued phone, but it only took until my 3rd attempt to get it done without cracking it.
Try that with the screen at $300 a pop, I got out of the repair biz a few years after glue and large amounts of underfill in weird fucking places started becoming common place...such a pain in the ass!
