they stop selling parts quickly
That's weird. If they stopped making parts how did I get a replacement battery for my fairphone 3?

Have a look at their impact report. They themselves claim that they don’t spend more than €5 per phone on fair trade or environmental stuff.
I've looked through their report and I can't find this info. The only thing I've found is a ~€2 bonus per phone to their factory workers, which is only a small fraction of a phones supply chain. Can you provide a more detailed reference supporting your claim?
Wirelessly.
FairPhone doesn't do wireless charging.
A big problem they have is that they have to rely on Qualcomm for security updates, and the flagship chips simply don't get 8+ years of support. Fairphone uses Qualcomms IOT chips, which come with much longer support.
I prefer my ice medium rare.
but .for_each(|((_, , t), (, _, b))| { ... } just looks like an abomination
It's not so different in python: for ((_, _, t), (_, _, b)) in zip(top, bottom):
Or in C#: .ForEach(((_, _, t), (_, _, b)) => Console.Write(...));
what do you mean by spell fine?
I mean that when you ask them to spell a word they can list every character one at a time.
And yet they can seemingly spell and count (small numbers) just fine.
Many(most?) older towns did have a town square, many still do in various forms. Though it's not the town square they're about; it's the medium density mixed-use housing.
They need election reform for that to happen.
Sure, but it's not more valuable than $30 + regular price increases for 60+ years. That's what a lifetime membership is.
Lets flip that around: For my own finances $300 is a lot more valuable than $30 for 10 years. So if I'm to expect that the company will go out of business in 10 years or so, I would have been better off paying for the subscription.
Lets also not forget that companies don't take that $300 and responsibly invest it. It gets reinvested in a risky bid to grow the company and get enough people to subscribe in order to pay for your service going forward.

Thanks for the detailed reply. You saying that "They themselves claim that they don’t spend more than €5 per phone on fair trade or environmental stuff" is a complete lie. It's not a number they're claiming, it's a number you've estimated. And lets be clear: what you've done is take $3k in gold credits plus $13k cobalt credits and multiplied that by an arbitrary 8x.
I think you've gone into your analysis with a foregone conclusion. There simply isn't enough information to say anything about the cost overheat of being "fair".
And yet the FP4 was significantly less recycled. Plastic is certainly not cheaper to recycle; that's a lie the plastic industry's been pushing for a while.
