They will still have to manufacture 1 charger per 1 phone to meet the potential demand, which means same carbon emissions. If people would really care about the planet there would be a law and that law would be called usb-c for the next 100 years, which as you can imagine is an impossibility as it will hamper our precious technological progressā¦
In any case this particular case is such a trivial matter.
Well, the key-word would be potential.
They would estimate how many users order a charger and produce the respective amount. As time goes by, they can adjust their estimate to their experience.
In the end āticking a boxā is just a slightly different approach than the one practised by Fariphone.
Yes, in time, the supply and demand will even out, but thereās too many factors involved for this idea to be considered to be green in reality and not just on paper.
Do you believe this idea is not a show? What exactly weāre talking about here? Migrating plastic out of chargers into something else is what will happen.
7 min video of a durability test (e.g. scratching various parts of the phone, bending it, holding a lighter to the screen etc.) where the FP3 does pretty well Iād say
And that guy has 6.6 million subscribers. I hope the shop can cope with all the new fans 
That guy must be ex cia
I found two old posts of people mentioning this brand while asking a question but as far as I could see they didnāt write about the aspects that makes those headphone somewhat familiar to the Fairphone
āDesigned to lastā
Edit: just found a modular, repairable laptop
Framework is a hardware startup, founded by former Oculus engineer Nirav Patel, that is looking to take the Fairphone model and bring it to laptops, even shipping with a screwdriver in the box.
Cool!
I just wonder, how durable the so called āexpansion cardsā (i.e. exchangeable expansion ports to be plugged into an USB-C port on the mainboard) of the Framework laptop will be.
Since the bottom module of the FP2 was a kind of weak spot, this might spell trouble, if one is really switching those expansion cards regularly. Though the idea - of course - is striking.
Well itās about time! But judging by specs the laptop will cost premium. My concern is the hinges, will they last a long time, and thunderbolt support which allows for external gpu. 11th gen Intel is decent but already eclipsed by Apple silicon (which I own).
And another Fairphone review on YouTube & an interview with the one and only Bas:
āElectronic anorexiaā Iām coining this phrase.
I think I see a problem here very clearly, we want to innovate the products faster than technology can advance, as well the infrastructure to utilize that new technology, for example a slim smartphone with a removable battery is possible if we wait a bit longer until the graphene batteries gain momentum, but we canāt because of how competitive the market is, so what is the solution? To glue in the battery, to āhide the fatā, and when batteries will become even more slimmer we still will be gluing them to achieve an even slimmer phone (which I assume will also require the use of titanium or magnesium due to fragility).
Article from Heise mentioning Fairphone. (Itās in German, sorry!). For non-german-speakers: The topic is the EU and itās (planned) supply chain law.
Interesting study on the influence of lithium-ion batteries on water scarcity.
I found this (really scientific) nature article linked in a German newspaper (Was Handy-Akkus mit Wasserknappheit zu tun haben):
There is also a PDF-Version for download
Article putting the spotlight on the role of SoC manufacturers in upgrading devices:
PocKit, modular Raspberry Pi (think: āRaspberry Pi Phonebloksā).
Is anyone using AirPods?
Unfortunately this service is just available in the US, but I like the idea behind. I guess it was never foreseen by Apple that one can use AirPods longer than 2 years.
I donāt know why fairphone isnāt mentioned in this article: Opinion | Your Smartphone Should Be Built to Last - The New York Times
Good question. Maybe because FP is not sold in US. Maybe because D. Beres is not aware of FP. You might try to update him via writing to letters@nytimes.comā¦
EDIT: Iāve moved your post here as I think that altough Fairphone is not mentioned the topic is still relatedā¦
Hereās a video of some guy on YouTube with 14 million followers who talks about right to repair and how companies like Apple, John Deere and Tesla are working against it.
Framework modular laptop coming to Europe. Article in Dutch, links to sources in English
Yes that has been mentioned before 
Iām waiting for it to be available in Europe but the roll out is North America first
