I gotta say, you had me until you cranked it to 11.
Not being able to call with a phone after an OS update is definitely a deal breaker. But “if I don’t have my phone on me, I’ll die” is the kind of hyperbole that has me doubt your entire testimonial.
It was referring to not being able to call emergency services, which may realistically lead to your death. It’s a fairly unlikely scenario, but not a completely crazy one. It’s just a highlight in a sea of issues. Or at least that’s how it looks to me, as I’ve never used a Fairphone. Some people say they work flawlessly.
Imagine dying wasn’t hyperbole it is a real concern of mine. I commute with a bicycle to work and also cycle a lot in my free time. I wouldn’t be the first cyclist injured or even killed in a hit and run accident, so a phone that is unable to make a emergency call when I need it is not something I am willing to risk.

If you’re hit by a car bad enough then I’d imagine the chances of your Florine breaking during a crash is pretty high, no?
Personally, my Florine is unbreakable.
