The Moondrop MIAD 01 is one of the most distinctive Android devices of 2024 thus far. It has a 4.4mm headphone jack to go with the more conventional 3.5mm type. Furthermore, it seems it might be as appealing to teardown enthusiasts as well as audiophiles, and may, therefore, also be easier to repair than most modern smartphones.
Yes, the batteries in the fairbuds are standard LIR1054 which you can buy from loads of places. Not sure about the case but its bigger capacity so it doesn’t need to be replaced as often if ever.
Either way third parties could and probably will make replacement batteries for the case because there is nothing stopping them unlike apple devices. And the battery is still extremely easy to replace.
I agree that a 3,5 mm jack would be nice, but you are overreacting.
A 3.5 jack would not be merely nice. The removal of it means Fairphone does not give a shit about sustainability, because the 3.5 jack is probably the oldest standard technology (100+ years old) that we are using in current times.
If the wireless buds are repairable, good. But it does not mean Fairphone becomes another Apple as far as ports are concerned.
