Fairphone Is Coming for the US Smartphone Market — And You Can Repair It Yourself

The iPhone 18 Pro is here, putting smartphone upgrades back in the spotlight.  But do we really need to replace our phones so often? In this episode of The Boon of Wireless, Jon Horovitz sits down with Nora Levinson, U.S. General Manager of Fairphone, to explore a different approach: smartphones designed to be repaired, kept, and used for years. Nora shares Fairphone’s story, its expansion into the U.S., and why repairability and longevity are becoming increasingly important. Plus, she gives us a hands-on teardown — showing just how easy it is to replace the battery, screen, USB port, cameras, and more.
