We just have dropped the 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:​ www.fairphone.com/en/2024/01/24/have-you-seen-the-schematics-for-the-fairphone-5/

@agnes007 I bought my current phone between the release of the Fairphone 4 and the Fairphone 5, and unfortunately the 4 had a few things that didn't fit my needs, but I'll definitely look into the Fairphone 7 when the time comes to change (assuming the release schedule and my average time between phones stay consistent)
