Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
Is the Fairphone 5 just a repeat of a proven formula or a real improvement compared to its predecessors?
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?

I will be buying one. Sorry, the 3.5mm jack days have passed. The perceptible quality difference from current gen BT headphones is negligible for 99% of people. If you are in the 1%, listen on your dedicated hardware at home, but dont bog down item specs for the rest of people.
What about aux in the car?
USBC to headphone jack Dongle.
Those days are even further past
Not in my car.. I would love to have bluetooth.
Yes but also no, but also yes. Here's why:
- yes: most people don't use cabled headphones
- no: high quality headphones require a jack
- yes: those high quality headphones need amplifiers beyond what the phones inbuilt dac can handle
So I'd probably overall argue that those who really care about audio probably have a separate DAC like https://www.techradar.com/audio/hi-fi/ifi-hip-dac-3-review
Which is probably an unpopular opinion.
I disagree on point 1; I use cabled headphones/earbuds more than the screen. My audio jacks get more use than the all the usb jacks combined (short of peripherals like keyboard that stay plugged in constantly).
