Self-labelled neo-Luddites and the tech-stressed are searching for phones with fewer features. Industry experts cite precarious profit margins and a wobbly market around this need.

    So a fairphone? Though it doesn’t provide wireless charging I think.

        Yeah that was probably the wrong decision, following their mantra. But personally it doesn’t bother me too much. I’m pretty happy with it

          1. Make repairable phone

          2. Remove headphone jack and release wireless bud that not repairable (TWS earbud)

          3. Piss off community

          4. ???

          5. Profit?

          (i know fairbud now better, but was not back then)
