Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

For me any concerns about e/os are overshadowed by buying one of the most sustainable and “ethical” phones there are currently available, and not supporting google.

By using /e/ os you are supporting google because /e/ os is not degoogled

Buying a Pixel isn’t automatically supporting Google. You can get them secondhand.

  You’re indirectly helping Google though. If the second hand market is better for Pixels than other devices because of Graphene, then people are more willing to buy Pixels, so Google sells more of them.

    The secondhand market for GrapheneOS users is a fraction of a fraction of Google’s overall Pixel sales. Saying you’re supporting Google by using GrapheneOS is a stretch even by the loosest definition and only serves to detract from literally the best OS you can use for privacy and security.
