‘Like comparing a $5 Walmart steak to a steak from a local ranch’: the Fairphone Gen 6 Plus's perceived high price is dividing fans — and I know where I stand
The Fairphone Gen 6 Plus is a mid-range phone with a steep price tag — but that might just be the cost of a fairer world.
The Fairphone Gen 6 Plus has recently hit the US market, with a price tag of $649.99 / £569. While some argue that its specs are merely average, it's a modular and eco-friendly device that can be repaired and receives software updates until 2033. The phone's unique selling points are its sustainability and longevity, which some consider worth the higher cost.
However, others are divided on the price, comparing it to a cheap Walmart steak when others would prefer higher-end options. Fairphone's commitment to fair wages, safer factories, and net-zero emissions stands in contrast to the high price, but supporters see it as a worthwhile investment in a more equitable world.
