While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

Running android puts rather a low ceiling on security and privacy

Edit: ok look y’all, I’m stoked that there are some privacy and security-focused routes for nerds to take, but aggregate security for the average user who goes to a store and buys what the salesperson recommends is an important metric.

Quite the opposite. Running iOS means you have a device that does whatever Apple tells it to do, nothing more and nothing less. Running Android means you have a plethora of options to choose your level of security and convenience.

You don’t have to use Google services on the fairphone. And if you use it without those, Android is waaaaaaaaay more private than iOS.

iPhones are barely much better than Android phones for privacy or security.

How do push notifications work on Graphene? I am currently using LineageOS with microg services but the experience has been quite rocky

I’ll forever be skeptical of a degoogled OS that runs only on phones engineered by Google.
