      Fair wages for the people making the phone is also a selling point of this phone. It’s not just about repairability.

      That said I’m also not writing this from a Fairphone, because the price is too high for me.

      slower

      How fast do you need your phone to be for sending messages, streaming video, or browsing the web? Every phone made in the last decade can do these things.

      The high price actually cancels the point of the repairability. I can get a similar phone for easily €400-500 less. If I budget that extra price for repairs, I can get the battery and screen replaced quite a few times.

      I say that as an FP4 owner, who did the same calculation mistake there.
