Mission accomplished for development teams Fairphone 2: the second iteration fair and eco-friendly smartphone comes to harvest the maximum score of repairability of the famous American site iFixit.

With a 10/10, the Fairphone 2 is one of the few recipients of this precious document which judges if a high-tech product is repairable if something goes wrong. The iFixit team since they are known for their intransigence recently awarded an 1/10 to the latest Apple iMac, simply deemed irreparable.

The battery and the screen, the first two parts to show signs of weakness in the life of a phone are easily replaced not only because the device is easily removable but because teams Fairphone maintain a parts circuit. Always and can control each component of the first Fairphone FP1 on the online store of the brand.

If the Fairphone 2 is, like its predecessor, more expensive than a smartphone “normal”, ie, is as much because the products are fully repairable by the ecological and ethical commitments of the brand.

The question is whether consumers are willing to pay the price of that commitment.
