minus-squarebitwolf@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·2 years agoPlease get through the FCC and open sales in the USA before Fairphone 6 is made. I really don’t want to buy another unrepairable phone.

minus-squaredeepfuckingdumb@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·2 years agoAnything that emits radio signal must receive an FCC certification. Fairphone has not submitted the Fairphone 5 for certification. Certification database search. It’s annoying but a super important regulatory process.
