Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10? | iFixit News

Is the Fairphone 5 just a repeat of a proven formula or a real improvement compared to its predecessors?

While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

    They could just make magnetic connectors with a shallow socket. But those would last longer and you wouldn’t need to keep buying new stuff.

        Yes, it does impart a sense of gravity to otherwise mundane chatter. The only thing missing is letterhead with a monogram.

        For some reason I don’t yet understand, my fediverse server inserts the CC in some replies and I forgot to catch it. I haven’t had time to analyze the rooster’s guts yet.

      too many bits of magnetic gunk collect on those for my liking. Not as much of an issue on laptops, but with a phone carried in a pocket all day it quickly became an issue for me

      Idk of any phone that had them built in, I just used one of those magnetic usb adapters you find on amazon
