MrMobile very much relies on people (like me!) who are interested in the constant release of new technology – so I’ve always thought it would be hypocritical of me to focus on ease of repair, or sustainability.
But when a product combines those aspirational qualities with new thinking about how we should be using our technology … well that’s something I can’t help but try out.
This is the Fairphone 6: a mobile device from the Amsterdam-based company of the same name that’s modular, repairable, and made to be mindful. In other words: the opposite of pretty much every other smartphone.
