We are talking about Android, not Apple.
Android phones can be user repaired and repaired by third parties without Googles permission.
depends on what you need repaired. and upgrades are a big no too.
What part can't be repaired? Some parts may be soldered to the board, but the board can be fixed without Googles blessing.
And upgrades were never a part of the original comment, so what does that have to do with my comment?
you seem to have answered your own question.
if i can't cheaply repair an old board, or source parts, it's not repairable.
upgrading is part of what makes old computers still usable.
Upgrading isn't repairing, and I said you can repair these devices. My question is what CAN'T you repair, not what can be repaired (which is what I did answer).
i literally just told you.
