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?

For me it's mostly two major reasons: Security and ease of use.

I don't leave Bluetooth turned on unless I actively need it.

And wireless headphones are just one more thing to charge. I've tried them. It ended up more of a hassle than just..plugging in a wire.

Oh okay. For me, the hassle of coiling the wires and resolving knots was infinitely greater than keeping track of the limited battery life of my earbuds

One of the best headphones I've ever used had magnets in the buds which basically eliminated tangles completely. Highly recommend sport earbuds with magnets.
