href="https://puri.sm/posts/supplying-the-demand/">An Update
on Librem 5 Shipping</a></h1>
<p>Thank you all for the continued support and remarkable demand
for the Librem 5.</p>
<p>As we’ve mentioned before we are iterating through shipping
batches. The purpose of doing so is to increment and improve
with each batch toward mass production and share that story
publicly. As a result, these earlier batches are limited in
quantity as we move toward mass production. </p>
<h2>Demand for Early Batches</h2>
<p>We intended on the second revision of Aspen (black case)
getting into the hands of backers, but due to the results of
quality control tests against RAM clocking at full-speed
(consuming power and generating heat), we made the decision to
move those backers to Birch and deliver the rest of Aspen to
developers and staff. This issue will be corrected and tested
prior to the shipping of the Birch batch. As we progress
toward the larger (but still limited) Birch batch we can
already see the writing on the wall; we have more demand for
early batches than the supply planned until we reach mass
production.</p>
<p>We know that many of you have been frustrated by the lack of
public updates around the Aspen batch until now, and we hear
you. We are trying to balance the myriad (but imminently
solvable) challenges of perfecting the Librem 5, with the aim
to update all of you with detailed updates as early and often
as we can.</p>
<p>Please continue to be patient. You will get your Librem 5.
It’s just a matter of iterating through the supply toward mass
production to meet the demand. Your support and understanding
as we’ve designed and built this revolutionary mobile phone
from schematics on up has been much appreciated.</p>
<h2>Thank You</h2>
<p>
We’d like to thank everyone for the continued support and
excitement for what we do. We wouldn’t have accomplished
everything we have and be on the cusp of disrupting the
smartphone market if it wasn’t for every single one of you.
