Fairphone has never previously provided full security patches for anywhere close to their promised support. The Fairphone 4 doesn't currently receive proper security support but rather receives the Android Security Bulletin patches consistently 1-2 months late and many of the recommended patches (Pixel Update Bulletin) years late.

Fairphone 4 does not include a secure element and does not provide many of the expected hardware security features. It also has a broken/incomplete implementation of verified boot and attestation.

Are these issues fixed with recent Fairphones?

Who the actual fuck even uses the Stock OS with the phone?

Just use Calyx man.

Calyx literally has the same issue. Consistently late to apply patches.
