MODERATORS
When they ditched the headphone jack fairphone ditched environmentalism.
The fairphone 3+ was their last fair phone.
It's just another cheap phone now. Made in the same place from the same stuff as other makers, with maybe a year of extra security updates.
They started by doing stuff differently, now they do things the same as everyone else and want to pretend they're different.
It's still a modular, repairable phone. That's objectively different to a regular phone. Not to mention the broad support for ROMs.
I still wouldn't buy one because of the cost, reduced performance, reduced battery life, and worse screen than other phones. It's not worth it even if it's upgradable as it can't be upgraded enough to stay relevant forever anyway unlike a framework where you can plop in a new motherboard.
Sounds like you didn't watch the video
I disagreed with the video.
Sounds like you're too keen to spout fallacies as if you're in a debating match rather than engaging in a discussion.
I'm stating my point because you contradict the video not because you don't agree with it.
If the lack of jack stock is a deal breaker for you, then it's a deal breaker for you. From what I see, they still make phones that are great if not among the best performing phones out there, then they are great in other ways, as explained in the video.
The lack of ethics and increase in waste is a deal breaker for me.
They're not the best performing. They're generally slow. Other phones objectively perform better.
Not only did the fairphone 4 ditch a feature I needed and would prevent waste in general for many.
It also caused my housemate who owned one no end of issues with every update. Bluetooth dropouts, touchscreen glitches.
Issues with the camera.
Issues with the microphone
Slow charging.
He's a beta tester and he's paid a premium for it.
Support from fairphone has basically been pathetic.
It's hilarious how many supporters of this company are. It must be like the phenomenon of car drivers supporting public transport. They're hoping everyone else buys a fairphone.
As they're not even the most environmentally friendly phone it's all a bit silly.
Which part of the video talks about the audiojack? I must've missed it.

I'm refering to the part about a phone being great on other parameters than just stuff that few users find valuable. They talked bout it when it comes to gaming.
You are wrong but I feel like arguing with you is pointless so carry on.
