If apple removes the plug then i'll start considering the other options when my current phone becomes unusable. Until then it's too easy to buy an old iphone and hold onto it for 6 years.

fairphone 5 is out :-) it is getting upgrades until the 2030s. and it is so easily repairable that it is realistic to use it for a long time

I am sincerely hoping that makes it to the US. The only thing available now is the Fair Phone 4.

This is the one I'm thinking of. Love the concept. Potential challenge is that in Canada things, in particular, shipping is expensive. I'm pretty broke right now so my inclination is to save money over the long run and not be wasteful.

I'm not a phone person though. Useful device but not something that takes up much of my day to day time.

Google Pixel 8 will have same update length as Apples Iphone.
