I like Fairphone's mission but kinda feel meh about their execution. Don't get me wrong they probably do better than everyone else. But releasing a phone per year isn't great for the environment. Removing the headphone jack wasn't for ecological reasons. Making tiny earbuds isn't in hand with easy reparability. And you can't upgrade anything !

I wish they will slow the pace for a release every 2 years with better upgradability. I also wish they would work with GrapheneOS so the hardware and firmware are secure enough for the Graphene team to work on that device.

But nice that the brand is still alive. I hope they won't go too much into green washing.

from what I see, their release cycle is roughly 2 years

Really curious about this one! I (sadly) love iOS too much to switch, but I’m totally rooting for Fairphone :)

What would it take for you to ditch iOS, just out of curiosity?
