We’re delighted to announce a new partnership between iodé and Volla, bringing two new smartphones to the iodé Shop: the Volla Plinius and the Volla Plinius Plus.

Pre-orders are open today, with the first deliveries currently planned for mid-September.

Your first level of defense is your device's OS. Android/iOS contact Google/Apple datacenters every 4,5 minutes on average, even without any apps installed! So choose privacy!

While we'd love it if you chose iodéOS for your next phone, any degoogled device is a huge step to free you from surveillance, spyware, trackers, bloatware, and advertising.

"Age verification" should be called by its real name: ID verification—a new form of mass surveillance.
