While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

Just get a new car pleb.

Honestly Bluetooth in a car has been a must for me for like 10 years now. And having experienced CarPlay, that’s def next (especially for cars that support wireless and have a Qi spot. Thats practically magic)

i like my car :( and i'm paranoid about features in new cars. i can hear a noticeable difference in quality with bluetooth vs wired too. never been a fan

regardless, cars that people primarily use 3.5mm for aren't going away too soon!

You should do what I did and just fuck up your ears with loud car stereos in your teenage years. Now I can’t tell a damn bit of difference.

CarPlay transmits audio over wifi

oh huh, good to know. if android auto doesn't already too, hopefully it will by the time my arm is twisted into getting a new car

You can retrofit a head unit or a screen to an older car. It works really well and gives so many more years to an older vehicle.

Look for “CarPlay screen” on amazon

oh i know. i've just been on the fence about that since it's got 200k miles haha. it's rocking an amp with the stock headunit

I can very much recommend! It’s nearly as buying a new car, at least for me xD

I upgraded my car without Bluetooth using a carPlay ready touchscreen auto radio to replace the old thing that was mounted in the DIN drawer thingy
