Fairphone 6 does not fulfill the hardware requirements (secure enclave, MTE, etc.), nor software requirements (monthly firmware updates, etc.). So there is nothing that GrapheneOS can do at this point. The ball is in Fairphone's court if they want this, but Fairphone seems more interested to cooperate with /e/OS, whose CEO proclaims security hardening is for pedophiles and spies (thereby fueling the narratives that s…

You conveniently picked a different quote. From the horse's mouth:

"Par contre, on a pas une approche "sécurité durcie", on développe pas un téléphone pour les pédo(bip) pour qu'ils puissent échapper à la justice."

"However, we do not have a "hardened security" approach, we are not developing a phone for pedophiles so that they can escape justice."

It's pretty insulting to be called a pedophile for wanting privacy from bad actors.

At this point in time any open source phone is a great improvement. Theoretically, we can add the security features ourselves.

The “only for pedo and spies” quote is still wrong no matter how you twist it, as illustrated above.

It's a pity those IMX and ISOCELL sensor chips are unobtainable from Digikey. Anyone with experience buying them in smaller quantities?

They aren't intended to be available frankly. You either buy them as camera modules, smartphone type or IP camera type, or don't at all. A part of it is just how involved the manufacturing of those camera modules is. The sensor chips ships as bare silicon dies. They're precisely placed, glued and wire bonded to the substrate PCB, then adorned with a focus/OIS voice coil frame and a lens assembly. Absolutely nothing a…

Ok, how would you buy them if you were a small company making e.g. scientific instruments?

Another dev has been hard at work bringing Fairphone 6 Linux support for calls, audio, microphone, NFC, GPS, and IMU: https://blorp.piefed.zip/inbox/u/https%3A%2F%2Fani.social%2F... It's now probably the most modern well-supported pmOS phone.

Amazing, I didn't see this yet. Indeed seems like it is well on track to become a usable device now.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Let's end it here. People can look up the source material and make their own judgment.
