While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

then there is absolutely no excuse that Apple, Samsung, Oppo etc. cannot do the same.

There is an excuse: it costs them money. If you can easily and cheaply repair your phone, you won't buy a new one.

greed isn't an excuse. Oh, sorry I was late but I have a good excuse: I'm lazy

“Sorry I’m late, it’s because of who I am as a person” is my usual reason.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Yes my apologies. I gave a really good excuse though gestures to self in the general

[–] arc@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Technical excuse I meant.

Oh I know. But there is no technical excuse and they know it.
