You can find adapters that can charge while still having a 3.5mm back

The to make matters worse, they’ve already stopped producing spare parts for the fairphone 4

What's this then?

From their own site it would seem they don't. There is a "US" version but you can't buy a Fairphone from the website directly.

What do you mean with stopped producing spare parts for FP4? They are still widely available

Louis Rossman is a perfect example of someone who's angry all the time.

couse the other guy said that the parts are not manufactured anymore

What are you talking about? I exchanged multiple mails per day when I had a problem.

Also as others have mentioned, the parts are still available on their website.

Your comment made me laugh! There’s no need to criticize the company if you’re having a bad day or don’t like it. It only takes a minute to check their website for spare parts. Most likely, it’s your local shop that’s out of stock, not Fairphone itself.

Yes, you can repair the Fairphone yourself by ordering spare parts (modules) directly in our shop.

i mean the bezels together are less than 1cm. and the notch takes space from notifications, with two sim cards and a vpn active that shit overflows instantly anyway.

Fair, I suppose it depends on how the software handles it too. Personally I never let notifications stack up and the VPN for me is on the other side. I'd personally rather have the shorter phone and a cutout.

Is he wrong though?

Very strange how mine can somehow fit a 7000mAh battery, dual SIM + SD card slot and a regular jack. Hmm...

No earphone jack again. That's a bit sad. Even though I mainly use BLT earbuds, I still sometimes wish I could use my wired headphones. It's just a small inconvenience

Big? The headphone jack is not large enough to protrude from a cell phone chassis. Any company telling you they can't fit it is just lying to sell you BT headphones.

Honestly, I don't really get the people who complain about the lack of 3.5mm jack on a smartphone. If you're looking for quality you're more likely to get better quality out quality USB-C headphones than quality 3.5mm headphones due to the USB-C headphones picking up less noise and having its own DAC (which is probably better than the phone DAC that 3.5mm would use).

EDIT: I would've been surprised if this take wasn't controversial. But I guess it's a good example how the fediverse is not a leftist echo chamber. You have a loud minority complaining about not being able to use a century old technology that the vast majority in the mobile space has moved away from and any compromise on what you want is unacceptable. That's about as conservative as you can get.

Would that be a problem when travelling to the... oh, right, we're not doing that anymore... would this be a problem for Europeans travelling to Canada?

Can I turn it off? Can I? I just want my photos, the real ones, however bad they are. I don’t want them to be half generated.

Is it repairable only with a screwdriver and parts you can buy from the manufacturer?

The single best thing for sustainability is long lifetime of the phone. Now that EU mandates it and Apple, Pixel and Samsung all offer 7 years of updates Fairphone's advantage here is slim. The rest are just vague promises. Apple also promises to support people and communities involved in its supply chain:

All the companies try to avoid sweatshops because it's terrible for PR but unless you are actually going to assemble the phone in EU you don't really know who made it. For me the difference between two phones made in China is not big enough to pay double.
