We just have dropped the #Fairphone 5 schematics (blueprints revealing how all the phone parts connect and function, which is useful for repairs 🪛) 💥
The sad reality is, not many companies would release their schematics. Official reasons cited usually include things like intellectual property protection and enhanced security. Unofficially, though, the most obvious reason we can make out seems to be the manufacturers’ insistence on gatekeeping repairs :blobnom: https://www.fairphone.com/en/2024/01/24/have-you-seen-the-schematics-for-the-fairphone-5/
