Fairphone Enters US With $649 Fairphone 6+, Promising Repairs Through 2033

Summary
$649 gets US buyers Fairphone’s first directly sold handset in its own web shop, the Fairphone 6+, ending reliance on third-party seller Murena for earlier models.
12 replaceable parts and a removable 4,415 mAh battery are the phone’s main pitch; iFixit gave the prior Fairphone 6 a 10/10 repairability score, though US spare parts were not yet listed.
12GB RAM, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip and Android 16 lift the mid-range device’s specs, with Fairphone claiming app loading and switching up to 24% faster.
2033 is the support target for both software and spare parts, while AT&T and T-Mobile compatibility broadens its appeal in a US market with fewer major phone vendors after OnePlus’ exit.
