The Fairphone 2 was released way back in 2015 and the Dutch company has promised three to five years of major software updates and it seems to have exceeded its initial promise. The company announced that it is pulling the plug on software support in March of this year.
So far, the sustainability-focused Fairphone 2 has received five major feature updates and seven years of security updates. That’s why Fairphone suggests users to stop handling sensitive data with the phone because it cannot guarantee up-to-date security and some critical vulnerabilities could put users’ data at risk.
The company also said it is keeping some spare parts for users who want to keep their Fairphone 2 a little longer. However, some components, such as the lower module, will only be available to users with valid warranties.
