While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

    For starters, you can degoogle Android, you can’t deapple iOS.

    You can replace the manufacturer android with a clean, free software and secure Android ROM, like GrapheneOS. iOS is a black box, fully proprietary and controlled by Apple.

    You can install apps from third parties on Android, like F-Droid. On iOS every app must be approved by Apple.

    You can’t use an iPhone without an Apple account, you can use Android without a Google account.

    Android has multiple profiles support, which comes handy for completely isolating apps from the rest of your phone.

    There’s much, much more. That’s just what came to my mind right now.
