Fairphone users can buy new camera without replacing the phone itself – Still has its iFixit perfect 10/10 repairability score too

Last year, repair guide site iFixit tore down the Fairphone 3 and gave the modular-designed phone a rare perfect 10/10 repairability score. Today, Fairphone demonstrated just how far its philosophy of modular phone design can take its users by offering the massively upgraded cameras from its newly released Fairphone 3+ model to owners of the earlier Fairphone 3.

Fairphone designs are noticeably bulkier than typical smartphone designs—but they have a reason to be. Its components have been split into seven replaceable modules in order to extend the service life of each Fairphone. Battery getting weak? It’s replaceable. Dropped your phone and broke the screen? Not only replaceable, but guaranteed replaceable — and for reasonably technical end users, user-replaceable — with easily purchased parts from the factory.
