The problematic thing for me back then was that it was the final update to OP2 (and on the forums they said that there will be no updates for the OS in the future). That's why it looked like planned obsolescence to me.
I see a lot of people on the internet having an attitude like "geee, it's 3 years old phone, time for an upgrade". All while hardware is still perfectly fine for 100% of the things average person needs the phone for.
- mcv 7y agoI'm no fan of planned obsolescence either, which is why I got a Fairphone, which was supposed to be easy to repair and possibly even get modular hardware upgrades. Never happened, of course, and my phone just developed a fatal problem this week. So this thread about more secure phones is coming at an excellent time for me. Legacy OS seems like a prime contender. Not sure about the hardware yet.
