Rank devices by repairability

It would be cool to not only search by devices, but to have suggestions for devices that can be repaired well.

Here's what I would suggest you to get via category you are interested in…

iPhone

  1. iPhone XR; latest and greatest iPhone. It has a repairability score of 6 which is pretty good
  2. iPhone 7; this phone is built to last. It has a repairability score of 7 (ironic)

Android Phone

  1. Fairphone 2; this is probably the most repairable modern smartphone out in the market. Repairability is a perfect 10!
  2. LG G6; water resistant and indeed repairable by intermediate skill level people. Repairability is a 5, which still isn't bad!
