Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade::North American sales are bad for everyone, except, miraculously, Google.

Everyone is poor from inflation and a million different subscription services and smartphone makers haven’t done anything new in years so there’s no point in getting a new phone unless the old one breaks.

My Samsung phones keep “mysteriously” going to shit after 18 to 22 months so I might try an iPhone when my current one shits the bed. Hopefully they will get their head out of their ass and reduce/remove the cutout.

I recommend the Fairphone 5. 5 year warranty, 10 year software support, and user replaceable parts like the battery.

I’ll definitely take a look at whatever Fairphone is out when it’s time to replace my S23 Ultra.

I really want this phone, but unfortunately I’m in the US

FP4 works just fine in the US btw… perhaps the FP5 will too?
