Falsely advertised as repairable
I bought a HMD Skyline phone as it was advertised as self repairable. I was hoping I would be able to extend the life of the phone through this feature. The battery is starting to degrade and I thought I'd change the battery. Sadly the batteries are not available and ifixit (who are one of the two suppliers) have no idea when they will get any. I've contacted HMD and they just say if I want a replacement I can send my phone to them. That just defeats the whole point of having a SELF repairable phone. I feel scammed. I will not be buying a HMD again. I advise anyone to think very carefully before going anywhere near them.
