Although, replacing the battery on the Fairphone is so much easier that 1000 cycles is acceptable.

You say that like it's impossible to change the battery on a Samsung phone. I can have it done in under 10 minutes.

Sure but not everyone is tech savvy.

But non-tech people aren't buying Faiphones, but whatever they're pushing at the Verizon store.

Can you follow a step-by-step guide?

Can you use a screwdriver to remove 5-10 identical screws?

Can you use spudgers of varying sizes?

Can you use a hair dryer?

Then you can change the battery on your Samsung phone.
