I read it, but its 100% corpo speak, and nothing actually announced... Watch this space kinda thing

A new logo is nice but I'm really hoping one of the "nice things on the horizon" includes either getting the FP5 in the US or releasing a fairphone that meets GrapheneOS' requirements for support.

I would be happy if they include a headphone jack (and IR blaster) but probably not happening

Seriously, I hoped between Samsung, Pixel A, Xiaomi or whatever phones just got to get a headphone jack. I can't find that stupid adapter when I need it, I hate it.

I also noticed more people on planes taking earphones from the flight attendants now.

I was on an airplane recently and the in-flight entertainment actually had Bluetooth. Most people were wearing the provided headphones but some made use of it

Lol it is literally just a basic sans serif font with connector curves very slightly thinned.

But then again it is my personal opinion that simply using an existing font is not a logo. A logo has to have some aspect of graphic design (optionally combined with an existing or custom font).

But I have to say, I don't think your wish will come true, as nice as it would be.

I'd shit my pants if Graphene supports the next Fairphone. Two of the things I care most about with mobile phones coming together.

God I hate marketing people.

Yeah no kidding. I read through the blurb for 3 minutes and just gave up. I have no idea with Fairphone's next chapter is because the marketdroid speak bored me shitless.

Nice new font and color. I'd hoped for a non-profit status. 🥹
