hey i just bought a @Fairphone 5, to follow my iphone 13 mini. before that i had a fairphone 3+. some reasons:
—fed up with lightning cables, usb-c please
—company is more aligned with my values
—public schematics available
—battery and other parts easy to change
—microsd slot
—relatively small team (well, much bigger than us) that i could contact if things go bad (or good!)
—i understand how hard it is to make indie devices and am interested in the tradeoffs
—potentially less addictive device
I *just* replaced the battery on my Fairphone 4, which I got in ~September of 2021. Still pretty happy with it, especially now that my battery is back to lasting >1 day instead of like 1/2 day :D
