I'm banking on my fairphone lasting at least a decade.
I was too but my fp4 has the common mic issue so can't make calls without external mic. Been getting by for nearly a year like that but, pre ordered the new jolla. We'll see if they can even make them now with all the market insanity
You can't replace the mic on fp4? Whack
It's on the main board, if you take your phone apart you can see where the pin hole leads. I agree it should have been a daughter board with the loud speaker. There are actually 3 mics on the fp4 but seems the bottom primary mic had the issues. It's a huge shame because I've replaced the USB C about half a dozen times as I abuse it, done the screen, ear speaker and battery too.
I'll see how the jolla is once it comes out, if that's got issues I'm still happy to support the project but may also get a new FP. These are risks we take supporting the smaller players in the market, but FP support has been good. I just never bothered to report the mic because I've had it for years and it's a recent development.
I'm also fortunate that spending 500€ on a phone as a bit of an experiment is fine by me, but for so many it's a big outlay so it's not acceptable.
