The whole philosophy of Fairphone is keeping it as long as possible through long term maintenance and access to spare part for self repairs. Fairphones are "outdated" almost at launch in terms of hardware in comparison to most phones on the market because this is not what we (fairphone customers) are looking for.
Exactly! I don't care that I don't have the most modern gadgets on my phone, I didn't have them before so I will not miss them. To me being unable to replace my battery or having to get rid of my phone because the OS is outdated is unacceptable and stupid and I will gladly sacrifice having a 1gigapixel camera or being able to take my phone in the shower.
