I'll keep buying used ones too. Buying "cutting edge" models is just so stupid in 2026.
My fairphone was 5 years old when I got it so if I use it for 5 more, getting it new could make sense if I then use it for 10 years. So I might look at getting a new fair phone when this is no longer usable.
But then even a new fairphone is like half the price or less of the most expensive smartphones, it's just far more than any phone I have bought before it.
