Perhaps at that point the consumer will opt for the repairable options.

Hmm its crazy that almost like rampant consumerism isn't the most efficient thing to do

I think thats whats going to happen. Fairphones are mid-range, but a midrange phone is enough for everything nowadays. The only reason I want to switch my phone right now is because the fingerprint sensor is broken

Wouldn't really say it's "midrange", it's expensive AF.

Same. I'm hopelessly addicted to unlocking with my fingerprint!
