My FairPhone4 shows date of last Security Update: September 5. Today’s date is November 24. This cannot continue. I personally do not care about major OS updates like moving from Android 11 to 12. But I purchased my FP4 to use in a corporate network for a client, and their policies no longer accept…

when one states Fairphone promised them that they will get monthly security updates and e.g. as fast as Pixel phones and this was the promise to proof long-term support, yes I expect such can be proofed else its just an opinion and no fact. And asking for a fact isnt defending its asking for a fact.…

[image] yvmuell: providing security updates as fast as Google for their Pixel Phones The classic “moving the goalposts” strategy… :roll_eyes: Could you please show me where I said they had to “provide updates as fast as Google for their Pixel phones”? Or where I even made a comparison with …

[image] KurtF: Or where I even made a comparison with Google, or mentioned the Pixel in this specific context? Indeed, I didn’t. Case closed. You are accusing Fairphone for not fulfilling their promises of long product support. But they are still maintaining three phones with security update…

Just in time :smiley: Nicht, dass sie ihr Versprechen nicht halten

[image] Lars_Hennig: Just in time Depending on the definition of “in time”… March 5th is well past, we’re April 1st today… Oh well, at least they’re here. Better late than never. See you again in a month, for the “May 5th updates” event… :roll_eyes:

Yesterday we still had March, so the March update was delivered just in time

[image] Yeah, I guess. I mean, I would personally be happy if they released updates monthly at the last day of the month. That’s around 24 days slower than Google. Works for me. But the issue here is that the February update was almost 2 months late. Eventually, said update will include something…

FP Security Updates need to be more frequent
