The battery connector is amazing, not a ribbon cable in sight!
I have a Framework 14 for my school laptop and it really is a great little piece of hardware. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

Framework smartphone please. Though I think that is VERY unlikely.
It is. On their YouTube channel there’s a very interesting Q&A on their event earlier this year, here: https://youtu.be/os_fHy1mB_M There was a question specifically about making a smartphone. They explained it was very unlikely they’d ever do that and explained their reasoning behind it, so I’d highly recommend watching the video of you’re interested in how they think.
You can’t stop me from dreaming!
I would look at Fair phone. I imported one to the US and I love it.
I’ve thought about it, but in really holding out for a proper Linux phone, but we’ll see.
I plan to put postmarketos on this bad boy once I know the 5g will work. Cellular reception will be crucial more than anything for Linux phones to succeed.
Framework + GrapheneOS = ♥️
The closest thing to that that currently exists would probably be fairphone with /e/os
I just want an electric car that can do exactly this.
Modular components on an option of 3 frames. Reparable to a degree. Bare bones functionality. Physical buttons, no screens. Open source software. Upgrade not the whole car, but components as you go. Literally what video games taught us.
If I had Mark Cuban money, it’s the first thing I would do.
The Slate truck looks interesting and is exactly what you describe. Time will tell if it pans out.
It’s not quite what I’m saying, but it’s a starting point. It also isn’t really a thing yet. They’re expected to be available in 2027, so with EV incentives being eliminated, the now $27,500 basic model is already 30%+ more expensive before even appearing IRL.
I had to double-take because I thought this was their 12th model. But no, they just suck at product versioning, like every other tech company.
The number only indicate the screen size. The other two laptop models are the Framework 13 and 16. The only thing that made it confusing for you was your assumptions, since it all seems pretty straightforward to me.
Yes i realised that after researching their product line. And there are currently 5 different 13’s, and seemingly no easy way to differentiate revisions without listing the complete specs.
I just wish companies would make it easier to tell which of their products is newer/older.
Eg: 13" 2021, 16" 2022, etc…Revisions don’t really make sense for Framework in the same way as most other tech companies though, simply because of how upgradable and swappable the laptops are. My 13 probably has parts from two or three different “versions” at this point, and works like Lucky Charms.
