One of my favorite @Fairphone details is still the screwdriver in the box. You’re actually expected to open the phone!
The 6+ keeps the same repairable chassis with 12 user-replaceable parts, a removable battery, a five-year warranty, and software support through 2033. The update is mostly inside: Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and 12GB of RAM, giving a phone meant to stay around for years a bit more headroom.
The “Plus” is deliberately modest. No bigger display or extra camera. Fairphone has basically taken last year’s 6 and made it more comfortable to age.
Love this idea, my iPhone battery is always dead and here I can just swap it.
Hey Zac. First direct US sale is the interesting bit. Any read yet on whether repairability actually lands with American buyers the way it has in Europe?

Who hunted Fairphone Gen 6+?
Fairphone Gen 6+ was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Hi everyone!
One of my favorite @Fairphone details is still the screwdriver in the box. You’re actually expected to open the phone!

The “Plus” is deliberately modest. No bigger display or extra camera. Fairphone has basically taken last year’s 6 and made it more comfortable to age.
And for the first time, Fairphone is selling directly in the US.
A phone that ships with the tool to keep it alive for years is a pretty refreshing idea.
