Alright, but unfortunately I don’t think many consumers will buy them. The market almost always favors price and features, and the market leaders have an active motivation not to make people buy less phones. I don’t think the solution lies in the market, unless a massive cultural shift suddenly occurs.
Nonetheless, I think what Fairphone is doing is great (I don’t know much about that other one) and I personally use a 5+ year phone supported by a custom ROM OS (no commercial spyware, thanks!). The tools are nice, I just don’t see them becoming popular here.
