Afair, they started running out of some Fairphone 3 spare parts around 2024

So "longevity" is actually about 5 years. Or less if you live in the USA.

presumably longer if they were more popular and repair shops stock up on the parts. I assume most FP users are fairly tech savvy and would just purchase multiple components that are more likely to fail as a just-in-case (much like I do for bearings, headlights, and other small parts for my car)

That's 5 years longer than Apple.
