The Fairphone doesn't even come close to the iPhone 11, or even the iPhone X. No OLED screen. No advanced cameras.
And the Fairphone has a tacky logo on the front of the device that screams, "I'm cheap!"
And I say this as a person that would otherwise prefer the Fairphone. I think it's cool that it's repairable, but without offering something competitive with the iPhone 11 Pro, I just don't have any incentive to give up my iPhone 6S. I had the battery replaced a few months ago for $50, and it'll work just fine for me for years to come.
