AFAIK the fairphone is the only phone on the market that is explicitly designed to be user repairable. It doesn’t have a headphone Jack, though.
Since finding out about over ear headphones I have been less bothered with wireless. They are far more secure, even cycling around not once had them fall off.
Yep. But a mobile device will never really be BIFL. Too many sacrifices in form factor, and software / hardware move too fast to practically stay on one device for more than 5-7 years IMHO.
My fairphone was 5 years old when I bought it second hand, see no reason it can’t last more than 0-2 more years.
This BIFL community does not require that something literally last forever, just that it be more durable and lasting than other objects in the same category.
That’s totally fair. In that spirit I’d look to Fairphone first for certain.
Nokia brick?
The old ones don’t work on modern network deployments. But yeah they last much longer.
