I have a FP3 and I got very burned with the whole Android 13 fingerprint sensor fiasco, plus with Fairphone’s continued hostility towards the 3,5 mm audio jack. The fingerprint issue was the last straw that broke my trust in Fairphone’s software support promises: I could have dealt with slower updates, but such a big hit to the user experience and the communication blunders are not acceptable.
I’ve seen some of your contributions to the Fairphone community and maybe you’ve done even more than what the company deserves at this point. I don’t believe that I’ll be looking at a Fairphone device any more in the future, between a slow down in the smartphone market and the small but present increase in options that might be more ethical and repairable than the past I believe that Fairphone will soon lose its marketing edge and will be overtaken on technical merits because they refuse to fix their longstanding issues.
