What I'm surprised to not see here is no mention of firmware updates. The Fairphones still use Qualcomm SoCs which only receive 2Y firmware updates.

I wonder how they get code to "Qualcomm closed-source components".

That means only the software side would be receiving the 7 years. Seems I'm not the only one who has wondered that https://twitter.com/DanielMicay/status/1444035302822223872

tbh, seems like false marketing, Samsung and Apple support their SoC firmware for that full support period.
