With five major OS ugrades and eight years of patches.

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

      Man I watched that whole video, it has nothing to do with the headphone jack. It’s about how fairphone releases repair schematics. The title is clickbait, he still says “the removal of the headphone jack is still bullshit and I stand by that, but they sure do release schematics which is nice”.

      Making a modular phone is complicated.

      If they can’t deal with complicated things they should shut up shop and get out of the way so someone genuinely ethical can take their market share.

      To be clear, if they only failed to produce a phone with a headphone jack I’d be happy to just not buy it.

      The fact they went on to produce electronic trash in making Bluetooth earbuds means it’s clear they’ve reached the enshittification point They are just out to make money from their user base now like every other manufacturer.
