Modular & Repairable Smartphone Ecosystem for Longevity

Published on 10/21/2025 Product Idea Validation (Non-SaaS)

The user expresses significant frustration with smartphone longevity, repairability, and planned obsolescence (e.g., strong glue, OS bloat, short battery life, expensive replacements). This highlights a strong desire for 'Buy It For Life' (BIFL) or at least long-lasting, user-repairable, and sustainably supported smartphones. The mentions of Fairphone, self-repair kits, and 'degoogled' phones confirm a market for devices designed for extended use and easier maintenance, potentially including modular components or a robust repair support system.
