Been looking at the Fairphone 6 and damn, support until 2033? That’s actually insane.
The whole replaceable parts thing is pretty sick too. Battery goes bad? Just swap it instead of dropping $800 on a new phone or getting the battery replaced for $100
Probably gonna throw /e/OS on it too because why not.
What’s everyone else using? Anyone actually have experience with Fairphone or am I just getting hyped over nothing?
Yeah, if I lived in Europe it’d be almost a no brainer. Although the lack up upgrade path without buying a completely new phone is still kind of a bummer. I’ve had my iPhone for 3 years and never needed anything with it repaired. By the time something in this phone does break, I’ll likely be due for an upgrade anyway. Wish I could buy a Fairphone and slowly upgrade the parts so I would no longer be tied to an upgrade cycle. To me that’s way more attractive than a highly repairable phone.
Can people in the US just use EU providers and get away from all this, or at least until the EU becomes fascists too?
I don’t think so. How would that even work? It’s not like the EU carriers have any network infrastructure over here.
Phones from other countries still work here. It is just dependent on if thet charge for roaming.
Interesting. I always assumed people changed SIMs when they came over. I don’t think I’d want to count of that. Seems like it could be spotty at best.
