Fairphone has unveiled the Fairphone 6, continuing its mission since 2013 to produce ethically sourced, modular smartphones. Unlike conventional devices, Fairphones focus on sustainable materials, fair labor practices, and user repairability. The Fairphone 6 features 12 modular elements that users can replace, with a promise of eight years of software support. However, despite its significant ethical stance and achievements in repairability, with sales stagnating at around 100,000 units annually, analysts express concern that sustainable technology remains a niche market, overshadowed by larger brands like Apple.
"There's really no one else who does anything kind of close to what Fairphone does from a sustainability point of view. The issue I have with Fairphone is that it's quite niche."
"Each Fairphone model since the Fairphone 2 has achieved a 10/10 score for repairability, making them the only smartphones to earn such a rating, according to iFixit."
