  • A UK firm that fixes smartphones is calling for an official device repair apprenticeship to be introduced.
    TMT First, which introduced its own apprenticeship after struggling to find staff, points out there is no industry training standard.
    In 2022 there were almost 72 million mobile phone connections in use in the UK.
    By contrast, there are 33 million cars on UK roads - and mechanics train on nationally recognised apprenticeships.

      Which is why our household has Fairphones...the ability to repair electronics should be legally mandated. 'But - apart from that - an apprenticeship is a good idea. Will suggest that to my local politician.

    In 2013 my smartphone had a metal hatch to make replacing the battery easy. Phone lasted me until 2017. My current Samsung has the battery literally glued into to the case, meaning it gets damaged if you try to replace it. What we 'need' is for all phones by law to have easily replaceable batteries. It should not be down to the consumer.

    As others are saying, we as consumers aren't the problem, it's the manufacturers. Smartphones just aren't user friendly to repair when compared to other similar devices like desktop computers, laptops and a variety of other tech products.
    Personally, I've taken apart things like desktop computers, laptops and audio equipment to either repair parts, replace them with new working parts or retrieve data as most devices are designed in ways that let you work on them or at least send them off to someone more skilled. Sadly, most phones now are glued together and seem to be requiring increasingly complex tools and methods to repair them. Only the manufacturers can change that, not us as consumers.

    Most electrical gadgets from hair dryers to smart phones are made not to be repaired on purpose so you have to keep buying the latest products. More often than not phone batteries become unavailable and simple cables that could be replaceable are secured in the appliance (hair dryers, vacuum cleaners etc) using security screws or even bonding parts together.

    The batteries should be owner-replaceable. They were for several years, but the manufacturers decided they'd make more money selling phones designed to be nearly impossible for the end user to repair or replace parts. Now, you essentially have to purchase another phone every three to four years. 🤬

    20 repairs per day, with average cost 200 pounds will be 4000. Then 20 working days means technician get 80 000 every month?Almost a millon in one year?
    It's a lot of money, damn

      20 repairs a day * 200 = 4000 . The technician gets less than 100 a day. That is why they struggle with recruiting.
      TMT First recruits a lot of Romanians, Polish, Russians, etc. But mostly Romanians. They put you in a low oxygen low light room and the security measures drain the life off you. Working there feels like being a prisoner on work release. It suits the Romanians. Low wages result in difficulty to recruit.

    Apple is the reason why this has become standard in the phone industry! How did we as consumers let this happen!! A phone where it’s very difficult to change the battery yourself or a screen that is smashed easily would have been frowned upon in the early 2000s. How did it get to this!

    It must be some neurological disfunction, from all of us 6 only one son that is delayed has ever dropped phone in our entire lifes. Just like that straight from his hand like people in this video clip describe, but couple of times a week.
    I'm an engineer and walk with it in open external pocket- pouch and all sorts of welding grinding going up ladders jumping from rooftops, laying on the floor on top of it (I'm carefull when do it) daily happenes to it and never even one time I dropped it or smash. The screen has no protector and not even one scratch on the glass, multiple on plastic/ aluminium body, been like this for decades and only 3-4 phone changes from getting too slow and obsolete

    Until producers make them repairable it is not feasible. Everything is sealed nowadays and often not serviceable. Another example is flat screen TV's which are thrown into landfill once the screen is damaged.

    You wouldn't need an apprenticeship, lots of patience, or any real training to replace those parts... IF manufacturers and brands didn't make it specifically hard to repair the phones just to force people to either buy a new device or have to go through their authorized repair programs which mostly do not fix anything, they just directly tell you for a vast majority of cases that it's "unfixable", and that you need to pay for a new one if you want your phone back, even if it's actually plenty fixable with anyone with a little training and the right parts.
    This is more than proven by brands that actually make phones that are fixable, like Fairphone. Well, it's proof enough how older smartphones were just easier to fix some 10 years ago or so. Smartphone companies purposefully killed the development and mass production of replaceable batteries so you are left with no option but to get these devices that are glued up together carrying batteries that are glued to the chassis of the phone just so it'd hard to replace them.
    Not only that, both Apple and Samsung, the biggest smartphone brands for western nations, are continuing to implement a myriad of policies, components and designs that makes it harder for phones to be fixed, on purpose. Their bullshit claims of environmentalism falls flat to anyone who understands what they are doing. Apple has already moved towards locking hardware components via firmware... you can't replace broken components anymore because there is an authentication process between parts that if they don't match, even if components are from the exact same model, they simply will refuse to work together.
    Samsung on the other side is applying for country wide bans of specific components such as smartphone screens based on bullshit claims of copyright ownership. They mean to stifle independent repair as a whole by stopping the free trade of component parts.
    What we need is government action to stop these predatory actions, crushing up eWaste to recover rare minerals is the worst possible way to make use of old devices - it's more costly than mining new minerals, it's damaging for the environment because it requires toxic chemicals to do so, and it's mostly something done for show alone - there have been multiple reports that eWaste is majorly exported to poor countries with no regulations or environmental protection, where this waste ends up in poor regions of the country where people will use these chemicals to extract rare minerals at huge costs on their health and their environments.
    So there you go. If you are interested in this industry, don't trust me, do your own research. I didn't even touch the surface on the bad practices of smartphone makers.
