Fairphone (Gen. 6) Will Ship in the USA in August
IMHO, this alone makes the new model worthwhile. I can't believe they didn't mention this in the announcement video.

Yep ! They also make extra efforts to sanitize the whole production process by sourcing as much materials as they can and paying workers a bit more.
They seem quite transparent and I think having a quick look at their impact reports give some idea of how complicated this is : https://www.fairphone.com/en/impact-report/

This is the repairable phone, yes.
I'm guessing they won't make a feature phone because that industry isn't as wasteful as the smartphone industry.
I hope they make a fair tablet, but it'd better have good I/O. **There is no reason a medium-sized device intended for media consumption shouldn't have a headphone jack.**

Ooh, I've always wanted one of these. A little expensive though

@turbowafflz, the price of the FairPhone 5 at launch was £649. ^1 Now it's £419. ^2 the price of the gen. 6 could go down.
P.S. you can still get the FairPhone 4.

@turbowafflz @WastedRadiance i think the price is fair
