More and more repair options are available for devices, longer warranties, documentation more readily available for independent repair, pushing for ethical resource gathering and treatment of employees... Yeah I think it's making an impact.

I think the question is: how much of this change can really be attributed to Fairphone? The right to repair fight has been gaining momentum for some time, and while Fairphone may be helping somewhat, it also feels like it's just riding the wave.

Maybe, but fairphone is walking the walk while the big corps are dipping their toes at this point... Or being forced to dip their toes due to non American governments.
