I really respect Fairphone and I’m a happy owner of the Fairphone 5, but I find a bit puzzling for a company that suggests its customer should keep their phone for more than the 2.5 years average to release a new model just 2 years after the previous one.
Just my two cents, but they shoul’ve focused on developing either a tablet or a smartwatch to fill a gap in other markets before announcing yet another smartphone.
I keep reading this complaint every time FairPhone releases a new model, and it’s nonsense. The millions of people who didn’t buy a FairPhone 5 in the last 2 years are not going to buy a 2 year old model when they need a new phone in 2 months.
You bought a FairPhone 5 or 4 in the last 4 years? Keep it and don’t buy a FairPhone 6, you don’t need it.
You didn’t buy a FairPhone and your current phone is dying? Then you have a modern FairPhone and don’t need to decide between a FairPhone with old specs or an up-to-date phone that is not repairable.

You don’t have to buy a new fair phone just because you bought the last one.
It’s doubtful that someone buying a new phone now would want to buy the fair phone from 2+ years ago.
