We know when Fairphone will announce its sixth sustainable phone. We won't have to wait long, as the Fairphone 6 is expected this month. That's sooner than usual!

      I bought the 4 a few months before they announced the 5. I felt betrayed because I expected them to announce a fairphone 4+, like they did with the 3… I was expecting them to make phones of theseus that you can upgrade for years but that’s clearly not what they are going for :(

      I hope that there are components from the 6 that can be used to upgrade the 5

      Fairphone has a quite long software support. Your phone won’t be worse with something new. But sometimes they slow with new major updates

      It’s the classic trap.
      Wait long enough to be sure that a product is actually good, and poof, the next model comes out.

      Same, but it will be some time until it gets released. The 5 is supported until 2033 I think.
