>how about an iPhone?

I've ignored it in discussion because it is another world. Of course ios is alive and will be.

>you meant an open-source os project with phone capability?

Full open source is rare in phone segment, because GSM modules and some specific parts mostly have closed firmware. But even partial open-source projects aren't in good shape.

>one does comes to mind. even made with 'open-source' hardware too. supposedly will ship later this year.

Pinephone?

There were plenty of projects, actually. Openmoko (maybe someone still remembers it) even was successful - they did both hardware and software and made real devices. But most of projects don't go to production stage, like neo900, or became scam like both jolla tablets, or finished but not usable like other stuff. After these years, I don't believe any that project until it would be fully made and openly sold.

>but what is the reason? privacy? security?
