Fairphone is a for-profit business, correct?
If so, what's there to prevent the company from eventually (or even now) prioritizing profits over the longevity of its products? For example, let's say that their board wants to make higher margins. One way they can accomplish this is to use poor-quality parts in the initial product so that they need to be repaired more often, thus, they sell more replacement parts.
Makes sense because they said they removed the headphone jack because you can use the type c port.
More wear on the type c port means it will break faster.
The software developers don't actually have the phone they develop the software for. When there's bugs, support will just tell you to use a workaround and it will almost never get fixed with the next update.
Ya but everyone sells those they don't have a monopoly also I assume you can wirelessly charge which reduces port wear
It doesn't have that
