Well put, @amosbatto.
The PinePhone and Librem 5 (and postmarketOS
) are daring to break the mould of shiny object syndrome. Smartphones are a commodity, treated with no regard for longevity as manufacturers bring out their "latest and greatest", ultimately cannibalising one another.
Alas, the target audience for a hacker-friendly, open smartphone is wildly different to the audience already purchasing iOS and Android devices. Pity.
