I appreciate that, but in 2021 there were like 1.8 billion phones manufactured and sold.
Are you saying that none of those existing manufacturers can afford or is interested to offer a FOSS mobile?
I agree with you. But you are assuming everyone in the world thinks logically, let alone understands why FOSS is a better option.
I know and I have accepted this argument for a long time. But as things get ever more commoditised and the unease with the existing arrangements keeps monotonically growing the silence is kinda deafening.
If we could somehow get a basic white-label device going the magic of FOSS would work its miracle eventually. Think of modern linux desktops and servers. They are not for everyone but they are indispensable in their niche.
Thanks for the Volla tip. Will check it out.
