Modularity and accessiblity costs more in research, design and testing but there are many factors to the purchase price. The question is if a lower price is actually cheaper if you would be replacing it over and over again.
Personally I don’t think the industry will change until consumers value more than just the price.
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.
Who’s expecting a computer to last about 2 years?
