So sad. :frowning: Nice and clean design but it’s clearly a downgrade in some places. At least FP5 is not obsolete, it’s just an alternative to FP6.

Well you also need 14 traces on the mainboard, the connector from the mainboard to the bottom board, and from the bottom board to the USB-C module. Then you have to test and certify the traces and b2b can handle the increase in speed and there isn’t interference from/to other parts. Or you just run…

I’m not really sure if the second most active discussion on FP6 (after the community event; so theoratically the most active “real” discussion) would count as “few interactions”. [image] That said, maybe a survey of FP users and community would hold a more clear image for FP (also when clear that…

You got this wrong, because I was not referring to this topic here and second just because now some people are very loud it doesnt mean at all they are the majority. [image] machiav3lli: design decisions similar to what Shift does (which sometimes can be understood/go wrong as we’ve seen with S…

I guess you’ve never heard of the term vocal users? there’s always going to be a small number of people who will continually complain about a missing feature while the rest just carry on as normal. This sort of thing takes me back to the old days of Apple forums where the lack cut and paste was the …

I just hope that this blind shoot will pay off and Fairphone will survive. PS. IMO It’s still to big, to heavy, but I just guess that major of users also doesn’t care about this part of specification/design decisions. At least all we can see how current market looks like. Battery was good enough in…

No point buying a device that doesn’t do what you want and then flooding forums with displeasure. You can write same thing in the topic about security updates.

Moreover, despite the lack of desktop mode perhaps streaming via Miracast/Chromecast does actually work very well with FP6. We simply don’t know yet and need to wait for some feedback. If they did some market research, which I guess they did, perhaps the need for desktop mode is really rather very …

It’s not only missing DisplayPort alt mode, it is also missing high speed data rates which come with USB 3 for data exchange. Screen streaming is a crippled workaround and not a solution, especially as if wouldn’t be able to losslessy drive a high resolution display or with connected high data rate…

[image] gilesjuk: I guess you’ve never heard of the term vocal users? Yup I’m aware of it, but in Fairphone’s case it’s far more than that as those (usually more tech-savvy) vocal users are the ones who (through word of mouth or just technical decisions for others) usually push FPs beyond the…
