Before they push it? I bought my Fairphone 4 directly from the local electronics store. Then logically, the networks should have zero impact on the delivery speed of said updates. Unless I misunderstood and the operators in every country has tests that Fairphone has to pass regardless of where you bought it?
I’m genuinely curious what is causing this delay in security updates, as we’re consistently a month behind. Basically, which parts of the updates are causing this delay? Is it simply the 500k tests or is it that Fairphone has strayed too far from AOSP?
If you want quicker updates to the basic AOSP you can try custom ROMs and help out by doing some testing or coding etc.
I happily would, but as I stated before: I’m not risking bricking my device due to this issue still being around, or so it seems: Trapped in fastboot mode with locked bootloader and corrupted custom ROM
