Fairphone Gen 6+ Prioritizes Repairability and Longevity

Fairphone, a Dutch smartphone maker, has entered the US market with the $650 Fairphone Gen 6+, designed for longevity and easy repairability. The device's modular design allows users to take it apart and put it back together, prioritizing self-repair. This approach may have trade-offs, but it aligns with consumers' desires for owning their devices. Unlike other major brands, Fairphone focuses on enabling users to fully own their device, rather than relying on software updates alone.
