much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
We’ll probably never be allowed Fairphone in USA, which I’ve been eying since before launch. Curiosity got the better of me anyway; it’s still cheaper than iPhone https://eu.mobgsm.com/mobile/apple-iphone-14-pro-max-price-in-europe
Wasn't the FP4 launched in the US recently?
I had to search, and so it was! https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/5/23783714/murena-fairphone-4-us-release-date-price-sustainability-repair
It’s still currently not budgetable, but it’s closer! Thanks for great news!
Why did you think it wouldn't be allowed in USA?
Honestly? Because politicians and citizens alike would use it as a rallying cry, label it “European soshulist garbage.” Ffs, they even aoc and Bernie claim they’re socialists. They aren’t.
Do you not count the Murena partnership? I've been considering a Fairphone since I saw this.
I don’t know enough about Murena to speculate, let alone comment
