It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

    Please, do phones! Not only are far too many millions of phones being discarded every year, but it’s such a large consumer base (literally everyone) and the current offerings really offer nothing sustainable. It’s also a product category that’s perfect for modularity!

    Yes, ok, Fairphone. They don’t sell them anywhere outside of Europe.

    Other products like printers, tablets, monitors, TVs, etc. just have too long of a product life cycle to consider them as their next project. I can’t see a huge customer base of people wanting to repair their monitor or printer (no real upgrade path for Framework to offer here).

        Another person mentioned that company, but they aren’t Fairphone.

        They seem to buy the phones, add their own custom ROM and then resell the phones. Not in Canada, either. And no mention of where to get parts.

        Also out of stock on all variants, and they don’t sell the latest model, so it’s not really an option.
