I wish they would just make a dumb phone that was safe and secure, but I am in the minority on this one. I hope they do well, it's a beautiful idea. This is the one you can fix yourself, right?

Yep ! They also make extra efforts to sanitize the whole production process by sourcing as much materials as they can and paying workers a bit more.

They seem quite transparent and I think having a quick look at their impact reports give some idea of how complicated this is : https://www.fairphone.com/en/impact-report/

We really need to find a way to make technology sustainable. At least this is approaching that issue.

This is the repairable phone, yes.

I'm guessing they won't make a feature phone because that industry isn't as wasteful as the smartphone industry.

I hope they make a fair tablet, but it'd better have good I/O. **There is no reason a medium-sized device intended for media consumption shouldn't have a headphone jack.**

Oh, a fair tablet would be nice to be honest. I am not sure how much of a market there is though?
