iFixit teardown of Essential phone

>>62417005
it's a disposable phone... like most android phones are.

>Why does this keep happening?
they don't want repair shops to fix it, they want to charge people at the apple stores for replacing the whole phone

Only nokia 3300 indisposible

The Essential Phone will NEVER need to be repaired.

It's made of ceramic, titanium, liberal tears and unicorn farts, and is completely indestructible.

It will never never ever never ever need to be repaired.

This, it's the Essential phone after all.

you expect a phone that is advertised as essential and inexpensive to be sustainable and workable?

>>62417005
It happens because consumers buy this shit.
There are alternatives but they keep buying from companies that give them the dick from behind.
I think they like it that way.

I would forgive it if it had a headphone jack and was at least somewhat waterproof.

Instead its a dud with zero redeeming features aside from being nice to look at.

Fucking get good then, Fix some iphones. this shit is modular. Camera, battery, touch button, screen etc. And even the shit like touch IC's can be taken off and replaced with a bit or heat and microsolder experience. Get some tools and learn how to work with real hardware- This is why you faggots have no money seriously if half of the chinks can do it why cant you?

no (yous) thought so you fucking shitskins

>you can't replace any component, you have to throw away the whole phone
Since when is this not the norm?

>Oh no, a shiny new smartphone is purposely designed to not be fucked around with internally, because luddites like to think you can upgrade everything like an ATX motherboard.

is she our girl a star wars fan like us?

>implying anyone buys a phone based on their repairability rating
>implying anyone cares it's glued down
>implying i want a phone 5x thicker so there can be multiple layers and clips and sockets for everything
>implying some repair place is even going to source some IC or SMD component and re solder it for me
