Is the Fairphone 5 just a repeat of a proven formula or a real improvement compared to its predecessors?

While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

We talked about this a while back. Curious if people’s thoughts have changed since then on the Fairphone 5.

      Honest question: why?

      Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.

      Transparency: I’m someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol

        games suck with bluetooth headphones due to latency, many workplaces outright ban even carrying them, and you cant charge and use wired at the same time without at least 2 ports. Some wired headphones are cheap, like 5 bucks even. Also you need to charge BT headphones, and some people have expensive 300 dollar plus headphones that are made obselete by not having a headphone jack.

        1. Charging
        2. Companies keep shoving Bluetooth headphones down our throats, which are causing huge amounts of ewaste as the batteries are irreplaceable.
