Fairphone is unique in the world of smartphones. It’s pretty much the only company trying to build a sustainable device that isn’t glued together and hostile to the repair community. Today, Fairphone is announcing a brand-new flagship: the Fairphone 4, which brings an updated design and better specs while still shipping with all the modularity you would expect.
2 years after the FP3 was released…
I don’t want to be too pessimistic, but yeah, I assume this also means they won’t release too many new modules for the FP3 anymore.
With how fast-moving and non-stardardizable the hardware world is, I guess, this is something one could’ve seen coming anyways, but still unfortunate, and their FP3 marketing was somewhat dishonest there.
Yes, if they bolster long-term use, repairability and upgradability, they should not have subsequent models coming out every two years…
I think you can still get FP2 parts, and they mentioned that they won’t drop FP3 parts
