My Fairphone 3+ has been getting updates for years and I also bought a replacement battery (at the same time I bought the phone) to ensure that it lasts for many more years to come.
And I’m SIM-Only, so not paying longterm to a phone company
Cost/Lifetime is probably lower than a mainstream phone (I’ll actually do the calculation one day)
I know this is a little OT, but I repaired a dead Karcher pressure washer this weekend… a little effort and I’m much more likely to purchase / recommend them in the future.
If the manufacturer’s grip is too tight, I’m going elsewhere - and I’ll be more loyal to them
