I’m excited that Samsung’s offering more years of support. But it’s not clear to me that Qualcomm is actually going to provide the hardware device security patches for that time frame. Samsung may be doing something on top. But I want to make sure the extra years of support are fully up and down the hardware stack

For instance previous fairphone devices offer many years more “support” then the hardware vendor does. Meaning there’s a Gap where they’re just patching Android issues but not hardware issues

Even though I don’t like apple for it’s closed ecosystem and it’s monotheistic behavior but it’s still sad to hear that it’s not as perfect as advertised

This brings up an interesting question. Should large organizations be forced to disclose their privacy related bug backlog? I realize this could be used for exploitation, but if they’re not willing to fix it we should at least know about it
