I haven't heard much on this area of development.

This is the most interesting phone to me as it is the most repairable, ethically sourced and has a clear case. This option would allow me to reduce harm as much as possible while participating in modern society.

After my iPhone is on its last legs, pmos becomes much better and fairphone ships to Canada, this will be my next phone.

Then when I'm arguing with people about veganism they can no longer pull out the bad faith argument in the same way "but you use iphones made with child labour." allowing perfection to be the enemy of good. They often say this when they're unironically using iphones and buying slaugtherhouse meat, they just too lazy to improve their ethics.

It would be awesome if we could receive an article or a video report on the topic as it would inspire a wave of interest onto the project.

They currently have 68 articles about Linux. We need to pump those numbers up to 100.

Initially Mobian was developed for the Librem 5 and the Pinephone which were designed to support Linux.[14] In May 2020, Pine64 announced availability of Mobian for PinePhone.[15] On 18 January 2021, the Mobian "Community Edition" Pinephone was released, an edition selling with Mobian pre-installed, and donating $10 US of the phone purchase cost to the Mobian developers.[7][16] Later Mobian announced support for the PineTab, a tablet, and the Pinephone Pro.[17] Mobian also supports the OnePlus 6/6T and Pocophone F1 Android phones with the mainline Linux kernel.[17]

Juno computer released a x86-based tablet with Mobian preinstalled to preorder in October 2022.[18]

I could be the maintainer for the Pixel 3A XL model as I would like to help speed up development of the project. My main priorities would be fixing the battery and creating a prebuilt image so more people can get involved.
