      Lol, they were funded 10 years ago snd when fairephone one came out people were already saying what you’re saying.

      There are customers for this kind of phones and the idea to not throw away perfectly working electronics.

      But customers accepted to not be able to replace their batteries or being sold phone full of glue.

      Outdated hardware isn’t really as important on a phone than it is as a PC. Unless you are gaming on your phone, phone hardware is plenty powerful enough these days for the grand majority of tasks.

      The software updates are the biggest concern and they intend to do 10 years of updates. That is more than long enough for this device before it becomes obsolete.
