That's a big oof for a product like Fairphone. They dropped the ball hard too by not standing behind their fuckup and left their customers hanging. Fairphone just got off my list of potential new purchases.
It depends on their response I think. They can own up to the problem, make their products more resilient or theh can do nothing in that case the repair washing is obvious.
IDK if I'm understanding their response correctly in the article but it really sounds like the people affected are left to pay for the repair themselves
are there any options left in that list?
