Iphones usually tend to last 5+ years easily, the battery is the only part that might crap out early.
But of course an easily repairable phone like the fair phone is even better. Unfortunate that it costs a premium compared to phones with similar specs. Repairable should be the default, not a niche offered by few manufacturers.
I can get a Xiaomi with the same SoC, higher display ppi (unfortunately also bigger display, they’re WAY too big IMO) and otherwise similar specs as the 6+ for 435€, but it’s 300€ if I’m willing to drop to 8 GB RAM (still 7s gen 4 so in comparison to the base 6 it has a newer SoC).
Fairphone wants 600 for the 6, 650 for the 6+.
I’m going to want your source for the Fairphone because if it’s significantly cheaper than the 435€ Xiaomi with 12 gigs of RAM for a 6+, I’d buy it despite not even needing a new phone yet.

Wasn’t Xiaomi one of the companies that got caught sending all your data to China along with Hauwei and OnePlus?
I’m paying a little more, but way less than the mainstream brands (Samsung,Apple,Google,Motorola) without the Chinese data leak of the cheaper brands.
I used to buy the cheaper Motorola phones, but the quality is 50/50 if you get something good or not.
