Ecelent explanation. This is my biggest issue with Fair Phone actually. They didn't make a proper ecosystem where the parts are interchangeable between models. They made the production more fair and repairable which, dont get me wrong, is a really good thing, but I really wish they be more like framework where a main board from the newest 13 inch laptop still fits in the old chassis from many years ago, and the hardware follows standards so they can be easily interchanged.

That's my biggest issue with Fairphone and I'm typing this comment on one.

The way it feels to me is that Framework actually cares about the principles it espouses at its core which is reflected in their design decisions, whereas Fairphone merely decided to target an underserved niche within the context of capitalism.

Don't get me wrong, Framework has their own issues, and I'm well aware of the problems that phone manufacturers face when it comes to hardware not being as interchangeable, but FP really hasn't done anything on the hardware side to make uplifting a current phone viable.

Something like keeping the same battery form factor so a higher energy density chemistry for the newer generation could be used on an older generation for example.
