The lowest cost iPhone SE 3rd gen I can find on Apple's website is €549 with 7 years of software updates
The fp5 on Fairphones website is €529 with at least 8 years of software updates
Even if iPhones were marginally cheaper, they carry with them vendor lock-in, poor repairability, and a track record of horrendous working conditions for the workers assembling them
To me it would still be worth a small premium to avoid those drawbacks even if the fp5 was more expensive per year
- nailuj 3y agoThe FP5 costs 699€ on the Fairphone website, so the premium is not that small
- Scandiravian 3y agoFor that price you also get 4x the storage of the cheapest iPhone SE. For comparable storage the iPhone is €749 Comparing the cheapest iPhone with the FP5, the latter is still cheaper per year, even if I never have to replace anything (such as the battery) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37756346 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37756346
