1 day agothey’ve stated that with the new version they’re trying to be a Slack replacement, there’s going to be an AI assistant built in, and the free tier will only let you contact 25 people.

yeah, and it’s crazy how conditioned you can get by consumerism. I bought the Fairphone 4 soon after its release, and the moment I got it, I pretty much stopped following any smartphone news (before that, I used to be a frequent /r/Android poster and commenter a few years ago, and I’ve always been up to date on the latest releases and features), as I was perfectly content with what I got, and knew that with the extended warranty I was set for the next 5 years.
but the very moment the 5 was announced and the 4 wasn’t the Latest Bestest Thing, I started being tempted to upgrade. no particular reason to it, as the biggest change would be an OLED screen and that just isn’t that big deal for me, except for the promise of a bigger newer number. I never upgraded and over three and a half years later, the 4 is still good enough for me, but something’s telling me the announcement of the 6 will be tempting me again, haha. I’ll probably try and wait for the 7, though.

third bullet point. or Ctrl+F.
it’s never been end-to-end encrypted, either, and I don’t think this rewrite is going to be.
oh, and your account gets its unique number, that you need to give away to people in order to contact them, which limits the discoverability among your phone contacts, which you get with Whatsapp or Signal. it basically used to be Poland’s local ICQ equivalent.
and its default message sound was supreme
