I mean, every phone can be called modular if 'made from multiple parts' is the definition, in article they only mention non-glued battery.

    Just being able to open it up without unglueing the display is a big win. Before my FP3 I had a Nokia 6 or 7. It had a broken USB-C connector. A 5 € part to exchange. But the screen also had a tiny tear. Because of that changing the 5 € part cost about as much as a new phone because they'd have to also change the glued on display to get to the part.

    I don't think they use adhesives for the display either, something making many apple products' screens unrepairable.

    I so want one. I hope to make my next phone a fairphone even though it's not an option for me yet (US). I really love their work.
