When you only have 3 smartphones in your catalogue, you update them with each AOSP release. At the very least, they need to hire the Lineage developers to provide an in-house solution. This is a commercial offer, not a beta test program.

The discontinued Fairphone 3 will receive androïd 11.
There is a difference between what they contractually guarantee and what they actually do.

Replacement battery should be no more than 20 bucks! 30 is too much.

Only 2 major android version updates is not enough for a smartphone which first argument and reason to buy is sustainable smartphone if other smartphone brands which doesn't even claim their smartphone sustainable offer 3 major android updates like latest samsung, oneplus or xiaomi 11T

Well glued to the display frame, oem lcd, oem digitizer with gorilla glass. I also got a new power button for the A1 and a camera for a Redmi Note 7, all of these worked and still work fine. Another more famous store is dragon-tt, but I haven't personally tried it.
Xiaomi usually release vendor updates for 2-3 years, which means that past that point the proprietary parts won't get updated. Usually it doesn't matter too much, but it will lower security and can create problems that the custom rom devs have to do hacky solutions to work around.

OEM parts and Nohon batteries for example are good and easy to find online. They also tend to have big batteries that last longer and a headphone jack on most cheaper models.
Most cheaper Xiaomi's also have custom roms, although not as good as official support since proprietary blobs and vendor is not updated, still extending the life of the device.

good idea in theory, but people are starting to chase after high price-performances as evidenced by xiaomi's meteoric rise

man how could they go for that screen type design ... now it look like a crappy clone phone ... they should at least go for the balanced top and bottom bezels like the xperia ... being abit thick is absolutely fine , or add a proper front firing speakers like the pixel2 xl ...
