They've been trash phones since the 4. My wife and i had the 3s and they were great phones.

My wife has been through both the 6 and 7 now and is constantly having issues with the hardware and some minor issues with the software. Phones overheating and shutting off just from browsing the web, poor battery life, screen completely dying, apps like spotify and facebook just not loading or crashing, the phone freezing up and not accepting any screen or button input, the phone calling 911 by itself.

I didn't hear great things about the 5 either. But it seems like their marketing department knows what it's doing because the 8 sounds like it's getting rave reviews yet again.

I'm hoping fairphone brings their new phone to the US.

Exactly, you can pick up pretty decent used ones on ebay. I grabbed an LSI 9207-8i for $41 shipped. Plenty of SATA ports now.

It's a bunch of people upset with the company's CEO or whatever over personal views. The browser itself wasn't that bad after you disabled the ad and crypto stuff, which they heavily pushed on you.

I had switched to it from Chrome last year but ended up not caring for it, so I went to Firefox and Librewolf. People can use whatever the hell they want, idgaf. But for those who will eventually end up complaining about YouTube ads and continue to use Chrome, I have no sympathy for if you can't take the few minutes to download and install a new browser and move your favorites over.

About the same here, just canceled last night before I even knew about this. Got my vessel sea worthy within the last week so I decided it was time. Timing was perfect.

Or you can download all of your kids shows and host it on a Plex or jellyfin server for them.
