God damn it i just bought the 5

[โ€“] cabbage@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Same. If FP6 has a smaller form factor and an amazing camera I will be very annoyed.

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

[โ€“] Cyber@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, same. I have a FP3+ and was hoping to wait until 4+ came out, but I guess not...

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

[โ€“] WILSOOON@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

I know i bought this thing not intending to replace it for the next decade or two

[โ€“] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 19 points 3 days ago

thanks for your sacrifice.

but that isn't a problem with faifone, your phone will last a long time

[โ€“] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

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.
