I used to fix phones back in the dumbphone days. Other than needing a special screwdriver, it was extremely straightforward as long as you were careful with the ribbon cables. I guess I don't have anything to add, lol, I was just reminiscing.
I actually still have two of the tiny torx screwdrivers I used to use. They're magic because they seem to fit about every tiny random device I've needed to disassemble and I've had them for 17 years without losing them.
I stopped giving a fuck after my first glued phone repair attempt. Until that point it was kind of fun and very rewarding, and the glued ones are just pure frustration. Big tech won, I don't repair phones any more.
Framework needs to make a phone lol.

I'd they'd bring back the headphone jack and sell them in North America then they might have something.
That,too.
