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?

    Just get a new car pleb.

    Honestly Bluetooth in a car has been a must for me for like 10 years now. And having experienced CarPlay, that’s def next (especially for cars that support wireless and have a Qi spot. Thats practically magic)

      i like my car :( and i’m paranoid about features in new cars. i can hear a noticeable difference in quality with bluetooth vs wired too. never been a fan

      regardless, cars that people primarily use 3.5mm for aren’t going away too soon!

        You should do what I did and just fuck up your ears with loud car stereos in your teenage years. Now I can’t tell a damn bit of difference.

            You can retrofit a head unit or a screen to an older car. It works really well and gives so many more years to an older vehicle.

            Look for “CarPlay screen” on amazon

              I can very much recommend! It’s nearly as buying a new car, at least for me xD

        I upgraded my car without Bluetooth using a carPlay ready touchscreen auto radio to replace the old thing that was mounted in the DIN drawer thingy
