It's in shop --> "all parts" (under the "spare parts" header)
Here are the ones for the fairphone 4: https://www.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?catego...
I however couldn't find the ones for the fairphone 3. The fairphone 4 is from 2021, which is not that old.
So "longevity" is actually about 5 years. Or less if you live in the USA.
Early Fairphones were not necessarily designed for repairability. That is a principle that has emerged significantly in the last few iterations. The FP4 was the first that was really designed and marketed as fully modular from what I remember, and parts are still available.
For the American piece, the FP6 was the first available from OEM in the US.
I still have various spare parts of my fp2: screen, camera, battery. This was in 2015 and it was modular and repairable. For the fp1, it was possible to replace the battery.
The FP 3 was marketed as "you can replace the camera for a better one"
