Ok, fair enough, if we are looking at software side of "repairs" (updates). However I'm talking about hardware side of things - with Fairphone I can remove and replace the battery by myself (or even carry a spare if I choose to), while e.g. in the newest Pixel, 9a, the battery is glued in place.

As for the requirements, I will take your word for it. And I do appreciate that you put the emphasis on security as it is often overlooked. I guess what I'm saying is that having control over my phone (as opposed to BigTech or apps having the control) is for me a much higher priority goal than just security by itself. Hardware reparability is (again, for me) a close second.

Anyway, I hope you find a good partner for the phones, and I'm curious to see what you come up with!
