There is other launchers if it does not function anymore. You can download Lawnchair 2 on the Play Store; it’s as open source a QuickStep, or even more; so zero spyware. Also, it’s designed to be resource efficient. And bonus, it’s customizable as heck. Hoping this suggestion/workaround helps!

Interesting idea. I don’t know. I suppose they know their market and that one of those two niches will not sell well enough to be a reliable market now? Or maybe they are well known for both and dropping one will be seen as bad for buyers.

I sometimes have the same feelings. I try to keep in mind that they are a really small enterprise with big goals. But at the same time I had periods where the phone frustrated me so much (FP3)

Since ecology takes a big place in my decision making these days I will not change phone before this one dies, but sometimes I feel like I have sacrificed a lot - Will probably go with a refurbished phone next time

However I still really like fairphone and their projects and objectives 🙂
