I expected them to release new phone in 2028 at earliest

They've been on an every-other-year-in-September-ish release cadence since the 3 came out in 2019, so it's been expected for a while that 2025/09 would be the release of the Fairphone 6. Glad to hear they're on track for that since I've been holding off on replacing my phone in anticipation of the 6.

I mean for something as sustainable as fairphone it doesn't make sense (at least to me) to release new device every year. I know it's to keep things fresh and to remind everyone that they exist (and that's great!) but yearly releases remind me of consumerism like in apple's way, you know "get a new iphone" way. Good thing FF4 is still a good phone but there will be people who bought FF5 and will buy FF6 because we humans like new things

At least used Fairphones may become more affordable this way.
