a few weeks ago, the charging port on my phone stopped working. luckily, i have a phone from a company that has put repairability as a high priority, so i was able to order a new usb board for 10 bucks and install it myself using their tutorial. i feel very accomplished, i have never repaired an electronic like that before. :)
older pixel phones rock.
unlockable bootloaders, too
which is the other half of repairability- truly owning the device you paid for and having the right to install whatever software on it you like.
