TLDR: it's a spec bump for the processor and RAM. One question I personally had is does that mean the motherboard is backward compatible with the og FP6?
I wonder how they made that work. I would have expected fairphone to be harder hit given they are smaller and don't have the leverage of apple. Maybe they just bought loads super early or something?
Did the price increase or is it the same?
I think there is a price increase but not massive compared to the fp6 launch and what other brands have/may do
