Can some investor pour 100 million or something into fairphone so the phones actually become good?

I bought one a couple of years ago, still use it. It's not that bad, just don't expect any crazy fluff. It's the compromise one makes for a sustainable future. Cheaper than most flagships.

I get that, but as someone on a currently near 8 year old phone, I’ve been told by friends the fairphone will barely last half that long :/.

How so? All parts are replacable with just a screwdriver. I do have to disclose I am replying to you on a FP5.

My friend told me in 3 years he had to buy 3 different batteries.

That doesn't reflect my experience. But tough on your friend.

Glad to hear it isn’t always the case
