I have had my fairphone 5 since October, and I am ~~contempt~~ content with it, ive noticed a few software bugs and made the customer support team aware about them and while I'll admit their responses are rather slow at times, ive never had a problem with attitude or unhelpfulness so far from them.
I will do what I can to genuinely keep this phone going until the security updates stop, being able to buy and replace the battery for a respectable 20 quid is incredible.
I'm also very excitied to see what 2027 brings as that is the year manufacturers are required, if they want to sell in the EU, to make their phones extremely repairable
i think you mean content, little bit different meaning than contempt ;)
Damn words sounding the same
Now that is something I did not know. Now I'm also very excited.
I expect these companies will still be on top even if they made phones repairable. Like for example, you can only buy parts from official store or else phone will not work
In America we're not making it to 2027.... especially if they let the orange gobbling loose.
Oh I'm sure that he'll personally put out his own fair phone. It will be the fairest phone, the fairest of them all! (His mirror told him so.)
Once my Freedom phone arrives, it will wipe the floor with all the others!
Any minute now.
