Fairphone existed for years now, and the title makes it seem like as if they made a new phone just now that is repairable.
Yeah, they're touting this as if it isn't old news. Yes, the phones are cool and yes, America can't have them. What else.
America can have them : https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/16674972235537-Murena-Fairphone-4-with-e-OS-in-the-USA
Kind of. It doesn't run Android with the Play Store so it's a pretty different experience.
I have the Aurora store on my /e/os so I can get apps that are on Play Store too. Haven't noticed any difference in experience except that well, no Play Store is installed.
Yeah, the Fairphone 2 is 7 years old and you can still buy all the important replacement parts directly from their store.
Does it still get OS updates?
