It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

Wasn't the issue here that they would have liked to partner with GrapheneOS, but GrapheneOS didn't want to, because of some security requirements that they had?

    GrapheneOS had security requirements and they offered to help Fairphone implement them, but Fairphone refused. Apparently they are not interested in their users security and privacy. So I won't be touching Fairphones with a 10ft stick.

    Motorola was interested and should be launching a phone with GrapheneOS preinstalled at the end of 2026 or in 2027.

    Is there a source available for that?

    Graphene has beef with every device maker that doesn't include a secure element throttle (which is every device maker except Google and Apple, and presumably Moto as of the first partnership device).
