Fairphone customers can affordably & easily repair a lot of common/obvious issues with their smartphone and headphones at home (industry leading 😉). Think smashed screen, aged battery, raspberry jam in the charging port. *Other jams available* We're beginning to transform our digital services at Fairphone, including a new self-service platform, enabling our customers to easily diagnose a wide range of product issues and send away their device to one of our professional repair centres (if need be). More satisfying for customers, more efficient for us, bigger impact. There's A LOT more on the roadmap to further expand this self-service platform but it's worth celebrating a CX milestone and great cross-department collaboration that went on behind-the-scenes this year (research, mapping, quick & dirty prototypes, informed scoping/prioritisation). Special kudos to Sean Rapsch for championing the service design methodologies we used and encouraging others to get involved from the start 💪 REPAIRS MADE EASY https://lnkd.in/eBjvWaJr #cx #servicedesign #fairphone #righttorepair #socialenterprise

The refurbished phone market in the UK is growing faster than most people think. 1 in 4 phones purchased in 2023 were refurbished Source: GfK UK Consumer Confidence Barometer. By 2027, 40% of all phones bought in the UK will be refurbished Prediction: CCS Insight. Back Market’s founder, Thibaud Hug de Larauze, stated Years ago, only 10% of cars were bought used. Today, around 75% are used. He describes it as a potential “massive shift” towards consumers choosing refurbished first. The trend is clear: value for money, lower environmental impact, and strong supply are pushing refurbished into the mainstream. Where do you think the UK refurbished phone market will be in 5–10 years? 🔘 50% of all phones purchased will be refurbished 🔘 60%- 70% will be refurbished 🔘 Similar to the used car market: 70–75% refurbished 🔘 Under 40% — growth slows

What does innovation look like when it’s designed to last? At #B2X, we believe true progress in technology doesn’t come at the expense of the planet, it goes hand in hand. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Fairphone, a company that’s redefining what sustainable design can be. Their latest device – Fairphone 6 – sets a new standard for repairability, durability, and circular design, proving that cutting-edge performance and sustainability can coexist. Our collaboration with Fairphone spans the entire hardware lifecycle: 🔄 from repair and refurbishment to digital platform integration and portal solutions for end customers. With our newly launched Customer Portal, we’re taking another step forward, empowering users to manage repairs transparently and efficiently, embodying the principles of the Right to Repair movement. And the journey continues: in the near future, we’ll integrate a Product Carbon Calculator to make environmental impact more tangible, helping customers and partners measure, understand, and reduce their footprint. Our cooperation reminds us of something simple yet powerful: Sustainability isn’t a limitation, it’s a design principle for the future. 💬 Let’s shape the future together. #RightToRepair #CircularDesign #Sustainability #CustomerExperience #GreenTech #Innovation
