They try to produce them as sustainable as possible. You can replace the battery and other parts. And you support an European company!

    I’d love them to support the project more! Degoogling is still hard. GrapheneOS support would be awesome too.

    I was especially miffed when they decided to prioritize fair trade materials over a free and de-googled OS. That was around 2017ish, and now we have the proof how quickly even the big corporate players can turn fascist, as the de-googled phone users haven’t been telling everyone for at least a decade why it’s a really really bad idea to have your phone talk with some corporate server outside of your phone provider (bad enough but necessary to use a phone) on everything you do.

      I suppose they did that to make it as easy as possible to get into it. It’s sad but it’s just how it is.
