The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

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 have a feeling you did not read my comments. The second model does NOT have parts available, that's just plain wrong. They've been out of stock for more than 3 years.

And as for the why, that's because not everyone is a capitalist piece of shit, and that's exactly the image that Fairphone is aiming for, and therefore when they advertise for sustainability, not supporting old devices is a dumb move.

Companies and people who put profit first are a cancer to this world.
