Intriguing insight in this review of the Fairphone 5:
There are two main types of cell phone buyers – those who love checking out the new gadgets and getting a new phone, and those who “hate saying goodbye” to their old devices, who would rather not replace a phone for mere planned obsolescence because it still works *just fine* except for this one little thing that either can be worked around or *should* be fixable.
Fairphone is intended for the second group

I’d love to get a Fairphone for this reason. But I also don’t want to get a new phone right now, for the same reason.
Here’s hoping what I’ve got lasts long enough for this model (or the next) to reach the US.
