The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years - eviltoast
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.

        I’ve listed facts here. But every time you come up with an excuse to consume more product.

        It’s not like I’m recommending a specific brand and they’re actually some of the most common but you will always justify buying shit you don’t need.

        You are simping for a private company that exploits labor just so you can feel better about buying another new phone instead of used.

          No you didn’t list any facts that justifies your point. I already told you why what you said isn’t what you think it is. “Every time”. Dude I’ve just told you ONCE after you came back at me that you can’t compare massive cooperations against a small company. I don’t even own a Fairphone and have never owned one. I keep my phone as long as possible. I’m literally not the type of consumer you think I am. But sure just because I listed literal facts you can’t seem to accept, I’m a fanboy of a brand I’ve never bought from and just pointed out some facts. Whatever makes you feel better I guess

            Used phones are ethically better than new phones. That’s a fact. If you buy used fairphones then that’s even better but they make such a bad product you have to buy it on ethics alone. If you’re buying on ethics then again, used is better.

            You’re just spouting peak consumer copium and claiming it’s a fact.

              I have never said you should buy a new or even a Fairphone to begin with. You’re trying to deflect from the actual discussion and make it look like I said certain stuff I never even said

                That’s what my initial comment was about so if you’re this far without knowing that it’s pretty clear you’re not reading very well.

                  My initial answer to your comment made it pretty clear that I was explaining to you one reason as to why these phones are more expensive than other ones. That was it. If you’re this far without noticing what the discussion was about maybe it’s you that isn’t reading very well

                    And I’m saying they need to have value other than ethics to sell new phones because used are more ethical.

                    Not making stuff is greener than making stuff.
