Have they improved with newer models? I had a Fairphone 2, but it would regularly crash when using it on my bike (I assume modular design and vibrations didn’t really work that well) and after a few dozen times of removing the cover the plastic started to crack already.
I loved the mission statement, but the product itself seemed a bit lacking and needed handling it very carefully.
Did those radios ever actually work well? I tried to use it once in an old phone but reception was just terrible and would cut out constantly while walking outside.
I really hate that it is becoming mandatory. I would have preferred the option to either have a reasonably priced service to replace the battery or have it user replaceable. Forcing one solution just seems not very consumer friendly.
I don’t like the compromises they have to make to make them easily replaceable and I never had a battery fail on me.
Uh, leds for a long time only were available in green and red. The invention of the blue led came rather late, leading to the explosion of led use because now you could finally show all the colors in a display (and create white light).
