Only Fairphone 5. And Fairphone 4 in September.

They "haven't forgotten" Fairphone 4 users, but apparently did forget the Fairphone 3.

Well it is the 5th year of their of their 5 year commitment to the Fairphone 3.

If they don't release an update around September then it is fair to say that their commitment is just the standard now. 3 OS updates and 5 years of security patches.

Maybe im out of the loop with other OEMs but that's pretty late for a minimally customised ROM?

Is it normal to have to wait 9 months from general availability for vendors to catch up? Is it a matter of treating the general availability point as a beta test or something?
