Wasn't fairphone originally about being sweatshop-free with the sustainability or repairability claims being afterthoughts? Am I thinking about something else?
Could be. Can't find anything specific about that atm, but the Fairphone 1 was already highly repairable, even though it wasn't necessarily modular. So yeah, the repairability thing was probably something they went with as a secondary goal.
I found this iFixit teardown of the Fairphone 1. Doesn't seem to be too complicated to take appart, but then again, neither were a lot of other phones at the time.
