It’s very similar but with a different philosophy. Fairphone is about sustainability and being ethical. Framework is about repairability and upgradability(which the fairphone isn’t).
Sustainability is a large part of Framework’s mission as well. The CEO has explicitly said that one of their goals is that none of their laptops should end up in a landfill.
That’s definitely true. There’s definitely a lot of overlap but, my point was that Fairphone specialized in making “ethical” electronics beyond just being repairable in a way afaik Framework does not. And I’m assuming that a Framework phone would be upgradable and the Fairphone is not.
People looking to buy one would also look to at the other as an alternative though.
FairPhone is definitely about repairability. But yes, I keep waiting for a FairPhone that isn’t a total redesign from the previous so we can finally get yearly upgrades without needing a new phone. But the truth is, before the FP4 the design was still catching up to the competition.
They already work with Cooler Master. I believe they designed the cooling for the laptops and this case.. And why would Cooler Master work on a tablet and not a phone, phones need cooling to lol?
Another line points out that Cooler Master, which designed the thermal solution inside the Framework Laptop 16 and is now a direct investor, might help Framework build new products, too. “

They wouldn’t work on either because that’s not the type of products they make.
No, it’s not a phone. That’s the “Cooler Master Cryo Phone Cooler”. It’s a phone cooler that attaches to the back of your phone to provide additional cooling while gaming and what not. So when you said

Not really true, Cooler Master had already made a cooler for phones. It’s not much of a stretch to say they might release another product in the phone category.
I would think they’d do a phone first given the market for phones is way bigger.
Isn’t that basically what Fairphone is?

There’s room for an American ethical phone maker. There’s room for far more than two such companies in the world

In my opinion Fairphone makes dodgy decisions, like removing a headphone jack and supplementing that with their own Fairbuds
They announced a partnership with Cooler Master, which to me suggests that that is not the case.

Read the article my dude

Phones don’t have much on the way of cooling
I did read it, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here?
I’m afraid I don’t know how to be anymore clear
You can tell me how the quote from the article connects to what I said and what led you to believe I didn’t already read it.
