Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence

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?

Buying this phone as a “spare phone” you very well may never actually need seems to contradict the point of it
That is a 700+ dollar "spare phone". Must be nice. It seems like an ok phone but it's so expensive that the sustainability angle seems like pretense. My last phone (Moto G4 XT1625, Android 7) was $170 and was technologically obsolescent and physically decrepit by the time I replaced it after about 6 years. I'd like to see how many fairphones are still in use after that long.

You're paying a premium to have a fucking dongle hanging out of your ear
Thats true but I was referring to it being useful for travelers or as a work phone. Just being useful when you don't want to expose your personal device
