    By a specific company? You can and are supposed to do it yourself.

        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.
