Apple is sued for telling you that you're “buying” movies

Fairphone relies on Qualcomm, which forces planned obsolescence through proprietary software [0]. This is why FSF do not recommend it.

Consider Librem 5 USA instead: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa. It is produced in USA.

For me it is pointless to buy made in USA given NSA. I would be better off blending in crowd, or buying from within EU.

As for planned obsolescence, FP2 has 5+ years of support as we speak. Without help from Qualcomm, as they EOLed SD800/801 long ago. That's the same SOC as in the Mars helicopter, btw.

The point I made still stands: Librem 5 is made from slave labour (gold, cobalt). Especially sour with the 2000 USD price tag.
