The price feels really high, you’re right. For me, it makes me think of why the rest is the phones are not more expensive. If FP5 costs this much with such underwhelming specs, but with a truly fair supply chain, then all other players must be cutting a lot of corners. I will must likely be getting a FP5 because of the statement. Just hope the camera is good enough that I can live with it for 10 years…

Some kind of solvent in the keyhole?

As someone said: “The ‘S’ in ‘IoT’ stands for Security”.

I expect this to do very little to the problem, where consumers don’t understand and care enough to pay extra for secure stuff, and producers will not spend resources on something that consumers don’t want to pay for.

The laws that I see working are the ones that punish companies that, by negligence in security measures, enable private data to be leaked.

You can never leave this decision as a choice to the consumer.
