Yes you can. You can replace the same number of components on the iPhone as you can the Fairphone. How do you think the hundreds of iphone repair shops do it? I can't believe people fall for this kind of stuff.
You can do replace individual components with an iPhone too with parts off of ebay. Oh and why isn't the Fairphone2 available as an "upgrade" for the Fairphone1? You just need to "plug in" the upgrade, right?
Because it is silly in practice. I can get iPhone parts on ebay and "repair" my phone. Go check their shop. You can find iPhone equivalents on ebay. And think about it: if the phone is upgradable, why isn't the Fairphone 2 upgradeable from the Fairphone 1??? Christ, the stupidity never ends.
Because manufacturing doesn't work that way. Their Chinese supplier makes their phone. The supplier supplies the electronics and the raw materials. It isn't like Fairphone sends them a shipment of tungsten saying "hey use this to make our phone". It is just a bunch of hipsters with a gimmick.
The entire thing is a joke. The phone is made in China in the same factories and suppliers as other phones. The difference is that their suppliers say "sure, we only use tungsten from Colorado, not from the Congo". And the hipsters fly home happy.
One thing that people don't know about Wes is that during his service at Washington University he was one of the many who took the initiative to create the Internet. So you can thank him for that.
The enlightened European citizens would never allow this to happen in the EU, unlike the silly Americans. Oh wait, you mean it is already in place and no one asked the citizens their opinion? Carry on then.
I hope these researchers are developing some sort of coverup for that paper skin. As we all know, in SA the display of *gasp* female bare skin is shameful. Because the men can't control themselves, or God doesn't like female skin or something.
Er, I'll bet there have been > 1 number of registered taxi drivers who have killed someone in the last 5 years. Also Uber has 162k active drivers.The taxi industry has 122k. You don't know what you are talking about.
I agree. Very Orwellian. What if someone delivered to your house a pre-selected set of articles for you to read that was curated by a company and editors? And even worse, what if that was your only set of articles available in your town? America would turn into the USSR if that happened. At least that is what I read in the newspaper today.

I use my Fairphone in my hugcircle in my safe space. Where do you use yours?

Isn't this is the exact same model drone they were smuggling into Gaza? Are you a terrorist?
So what you are saying is that beer helps the liver? I believe it. I read it here on the Internet.
Coffee makes you pee a lot. This helps flush out the liver and kidneys. I am not a Doctor, but I use Twitter, can't you tell?

Sorry I meant Uber has 162k and the taxi industry has 233k. Hardly 100x more.

Nice! I hope you are enjoying my money.

P.S. You didn't answer the question. You can get a job anywhere.
Um when was that? In 1940's faerie land?
Um, so why do you do it? You don't have to. No one needs to live in California. And wow? 30 degrees in the morning? You poor baby!
You mean you have sold your furniture in order to buy two?

I've never seen any ads on Google. The right hand side is completely blank. Are there people that don't run adblockers in 2016?
That is because things never come out of R&D int the tech world. Microsoft and Google learned this a long time ago. That is why they now acquire.
D=Development. Guess what? I am talking about Research divisions. They are called "Yahoo Research" not "Yahoo R&D". THey are all "R" and no "D". Dumb.
Because you can have useful things that isn't a product. Productize is a cromulent word.
