In hindsight, I should've added a few more..

Repairability/sustainability: Easy to repair, sustainably produced.

Ethics: Anti-Big Tech (no Apple, no Samsung etc.), good workers' rights and supply chain. Preferably European.

Privacy: Speaks for itself. Privacy or anonymity, measures that foster it rather than feed data to others.

I feel like Fairphone would hit the Repairability and likely also Ethics (since it's a certified B corporation), but for Privacy, it'd be a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS... but it's Google, and given the CLOUD Act...

Maybe I could add accessibility there too, interface customisation (I like the iOS interface ways, but still, it's Apple), but that's a separate category.

Yes, I think it is nearly phrased the same in the link somewhere. I guess they also have to consider that it doesn't get much more expensive than it currently is. If I remember correctly they also want to be an example for other brands, and lead the way for other brands to choose more ethical materials.
