Hello.
Will iFixit offer the Fairphone 5 battery in the US? I imported the phone from UK, so I am just looking for a way to get spare parts.
Hi Diego.
Unfortunately, we aren't planning on selling any Fairphone 5 parts in the US. I hope you find a vendor somewhere...I just checked Fairphone's official site, and I don't think they ship to the US :(
