PinePhone Pro [GNU/Linux smartphone] has been discontinued

A quick update concerning PinePhone Pro availability As some may have heard, the PinePhone Pro has indeed been discontinued. This is due to low sales and therefore no longer being viable for the PineStore to produce. Spare parts may continue to be produced for up to two years depending on how well sales go. If you still want one, at the end of this month refurbished PinePhone Pros will go on sale just like after the PineBook Pro was discontinued. So this will be your last chance to nab one. On the other hand, the PinePhone (A64) will continue to be sold for around two years. It is currently still selling well. As for the future of ARM products from the PineStore. It is not likely as the PineStore has moved focus onto RISC-V. This change can be seen looking at the recent product launches (Oz64, Star(/Pro)64 and Alpha One). There is also interest from the PineStore in being able to run LLMs locally on their SBCs with the Alpha One, powered by the StarPro64. (If you see this, I have edited this bit for clarity) And just a quick reminder that as the community we do not have knowledge about any future products. At this current point in time there is no currently known plans for a new PinePhone. And I think that's it, have a great rest of the week! #pinephonepro #pine64 #pinephone
