And then this landed on HN: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Zlatan-T...

Basically Zlatan Todoric the former CTO of Purism calls Purism's claims "shady" :(

Too bad... I had high hopes for Purism.

Not sure I can take him too serious. I have now 3 laptops from purism (2 old 13” and one 15” ). they are great.

He’s mostly talking about the phone project (which is hard).

Don’t know about Purism, yet have friends who worked with/on Jolla and his comments sound too harsh. PinePhone is interesting, yet haven’t seen much and I doubt they will be doing better ... Jolla shipped (yes with some proprietary blobs ), but was a great product (loved their work also before on the Nokia n110 ... my first mobile internet device).

Thank you for sharing that! I was ready to ditch Apple entirely, before I read that interview. But maybe I should just with the 13" Purism and a PinePhone :)
Would also argue that Purism is still better than Dell, Huawaii or any other laptop manufacturer :)
No doubt! My biggest worry would be whether the phone/company still exists in a year.
