“ If Apple is serious about privacy, it should offer an iPhone model for the privacy-conscious: one without facial recognition and without encryption-breaking tools, one in which it is easy to cover the camera, and in which the microphone can be mechanically turned off, among other features. If we want to keep our democracies in the digital age, we need to set limits on what gets tracked. “
So they want Apple to manufacture the Librem 5?[1]

- richardwhiuk 5y agoYou can't easily cover the camera in the Librem 5. The lack of coherent vulnerability tracking makes me suspect you'll be compromised by whoever anyway.
- fsflover 5y ago> You can't easily cover the camera in the Librem 5 Librem 5 has a microphone/camera hardware kill switch.
- dx034 5y agoI'm even sure Apple would offer it if there was demand. But for the few thousands a year you can sell, it's easier to have 3rd party companies modify existing iPhones/Androids.

- fsflover 5y agoYou can't modify an iPhone/Android such that it runs 100% free software.
- fundad 5y agoYeah if there was enough of a market that Apple sold them, it would be much cheaper than the current cost to make these low-volume Librem devices, not to mention the domestically assembled one for $2000
