A little bigger, eight years of support, ability to repair when things break. Still no headphone jack and the AMOLED display is a regression. Expensive but doesn’t use slave labor so that’s good. I’ll stick with the FP4

iPhone has great longevity as well. Better than any Fairphone or an overwhelming majority of Android devices. The 2014 6s is still getting security updates.

Well I wouldn’t really now as my employer is giving/forcing me to have a new one every 2 years.

But yeah you can feel that the hardware is good.

Still I can’t say I would buy anything from Apple with my own money (except an end of life Mac to put Linux on it for cheap).

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn’t a competition, it’s a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.
