If this is on purpose, that could indicate a soon release - not just a soon announcement.
The announcement will probable in September. I could see it next Friday with the new FP in the new Music Video.
I’m not quite sure - but did the Terms & Conditions of the contest change - they now say the winner will be notified by the 8th of October - had something like 17th of September in mind.
Correct it was in September somewhere
I think it shifted about a month, I remember, that the winner should be notified around the beginning of September, and published at the end.
Maybe it’s a smartwatch? And the Price is a FP3+ + Smartwatch, but it makes no sense for me to help to save our planet with more electronic devices.
I really hoped for a better organized recycling programm, maybe a recycling plattform for the whole industry, but this doesn’t fit in the teasers.
I’m also a little disappointed by the marketing teasers done by Fairphone, which are basically empty sentences. There is absolutely no information contained in them, except from the fact buying the new Fairphone product will help save the world (/sarcasm).
Edit: Corrected a sentence
Yes! we (Fairphone) people are not going to save the planet, the planet is fine. We are hopefully going to share the pain a bit more equitably. So let’s hope we’re getting more fairness whatever the device is. 
Yea its the same idea that its going to be a … every time. Doesn’t really help hype it up much.
Something I noticed is that if you change the FP 3 shop url to a 4 it redirects you to the FP 3, while any other number gives a 404. Just a coincidence, or something old? Matches up with the WiFi certification leak.
Ähhhh without changing the topic here…the planet is not “fine”.
The FP is for sure important to change social unbalances but at the same time it’s important that it is becoming more and more sustainable. As climate change will rise the social unbalances (now and for future generations), this is essential for acting social and for saving us from rapidly repeating ecological disaster like floods and so on.
At the end, you can’t get one without the other!
@Hraphone good one 
Well this can be seen as being off topic if being fair isn’t the root of this endeavour. And novelties in terms of extra toys and gadgets though they may be called novelties for the consumer are nothing but further distractions form the ‘ecological disaster’ that is the rise of the self proclaimed ‘homo sapiens’ over all other forms.
The planet as yet seems stable though predictions are that in 5000 billion years the sun may supper nova and engulf the earth, maybe that’s what the earth wants if it has a soul.
Otherwise if I consider the earth to be only the humans your view is fine. However if the earth were to include the other animals and plants, the so called, environment humans are changing, then it cannot be saved. It can only change in the direction set by the most powerful consumer(s) at the expense of the weaker.
There’s no turning back, the flood of humans is here and we are not about to stop ourselves as we do not have an inclusive consciousness, hence we exploit the weak amongst us and that must include other animals and plants.
‘We’ do not exist in any meaningful sense as most of use don’t have a say.
The animal biomass was all wild once upon a time, including humans, now we are 50% of the mass and 45% of the animal mass is bred for exploitation.
Many consider animals have no rights, or consciousness etc and maybe from some aspects a cows intelligence is not as demanding as a humans. So cows and dumber people do not shape the future, as they are in the chain of consuming and being consumed.
Saving us means increasing the security and safety for some at the expense of others.
The novel idea would be if each intelligent being left others to grow without exploiting the weak, the infirm, the poor, the different races, genders, animals, plants, minerals etc. So few people have such intent that this planet need not be saved for it serves it’s purpose for this ‘homo sapien’ experiment.
There are other planets more suitable where ‘mankind’ may grow a new environment, like Mars maybe, but until then this one is to be exploited to the full. If you think I’m crazy and thoughtless ask a cow. OH! I forgot they don’t have a voice, but I do.
Life as a consumer is not sustainable for those consumed and only 100 years for the consumer of external resources.
The novel idea isn’t novel at all, it’s been around for ever, it’s called the soul, immortal and a non consumer. Intelligent and expandable it is self sustaining and each of us can turn our mind to it’s development.
The planet is fine, it’s the soul of the individual that needs to let go of constant consumption and destruction employed to hide the fear of the future.
So who is the focus of my fairness and my fear, the cow or the crow.
This is highly melancholically philosophy and I do have a different view.
But we are getting OT here.
New teaser received by mail, seems not to bring any new info anyhow.
'We are getting closer.
The new ____ takes care of you. And your kids. And their kids…’
OK so that’s an even more careful raw materials procurement, like before. Did someone detect anything else?
I agree about the… interesting marketing tactics 
People have speculated about a ‘Fairtablet’ but I think a modular laptop would have greater demand and usefulness, at least from personal experience.
I miss the days of crowd founding, when they had to say what they are up to…
First i thought i might be specific to the product but it can be read as a general message about fair working conditions, fair trade and (ecologocal) sustainability, too. So i have no clue, just wishes 
The most awsome though that comes to my mind:
Fairphone teamed up with Framwork and bring the modular Notebook to the european market.
The DIY edition is 749$, so 700€ could be the european price tag.
Agree, no more device needed
Well there’s no FP1, FP2 or FP3 on the market so it has to be an FP4
Ah. The FP4 has not been launched, yet, and they take the FP3 from the market now? They do not even refer to the successor…
It all seems a bit crazy, maybe death or hibernation would seem on the cards.
Yes death is totally sustainable and all our children’s children’s children will benefit from that.
