In hindsight, I should’ve added a few more…

Repairability/sustainability: Easy to repair, sustainably produced.

Ethics: Anti-Big Tech (no Apple, no Samsung etc.), good workers’ rights and supply chain. Preferably European.

Privacy: Speaks for itself. Privacy or anonymity, measures that foster it rather than feed data to others.

I feel like Fairphone would hit the Repairability and likely also Ethics (since it’s a certified B corporation), but for Privacy, it’d be a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS… but it’s Google, and given the CLOUD Act…

Maybe I could add accessibility there too, interface customisation (I like the iOS interface ways, but still, it’s Apple), but that’s a separate category.

    Basically, the CLOUD act states that if a tech corporation has main residency in the US, it needs to provide a backdoor for espionage services, no matter even if data’s stored elsewhere.

      Ill need to read into that, but AFAIK it refers to their cloud Servers, not the actual phones
