It seems that Fairphone will finally end the Fairphone 3 (and 3+) support in August after 7 years.

I am still using my FP3+ daily - the only thing that has gone wrong with it was that I wore out the USB connector with cheap charging cables... so a new bottom connector (and a spare battery, just in case) and I'm all good again...

... which means, I might not be buying another phone for another couple of years yet, let's see if it'll make 10 years with LineageOS, etc!

I'm sure there's other phones still chugging along...

The possibility to easily change the USB port definitely weight in the balance in favor of a fairphone when I picked a new phone.

Now two other members of my family have a fairphone 5 as well.

    It was the replacable battery that originally convinced me to buy... I'd been using old Nokia's previously and that "5 seconds to full charge" appeal of a 2nd battery was the tipping point for me.
