The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

I'd prefer a smaller phone too but my main problem is fairphone ditched the headphones jack.

Then sold Bluetooth earbuds.

They don't care about electronic waste, they want their customers to throw away wired headphones and buy earbuds with batteries and wireless.
