Honestly, modern phones last 4-5+ years. The two-year upgrade cycle made more sense when the technology was rapidly improving and there were significant changes in user experience from year to year.
The only thing is you may have to replace your battery halfway through the life-cycle of your phone, but that’s not a big deal.
I genuinely don’t get the appeal of the Fairphone. Just keep your normal smartphone (be it Android, iPhone, or whatever) as long as you can then recycle it once you’re ready to upgrade.
