the problem isn't that they dont "support" older models, it's that the support is purely for show. they aren't receiving the chip OEM updates and they also aren't rolling out support for android releases. even the FP4, right before android 13 launched, was stuck on android 12 for a worrying length of time. CalyxOS, a group of FOSS developers, ended up making the android 13 port for them. fairphone shouldn't be taken seriously on their product support length claims. you will not be receiving some of the most important updates. this should be important to any of security conscious readers.
