Everytime I see Fairphone mentioned whenever there's news about GrapheneOS I'm confused as to why people keep on conflating both when they obviously have very different goals.

? Not conflating, just we want a phone with both goals ...

The only one conflating anything is yourself.
This is no great conundrum. There is simply a large set overlap. A lot of the people who care about one one, also care about the other.
It's the same as Framework owners and Linux users.
FW is not a linux laptop company. They didn't even barely say the word Linux initially. Their selling point was the repairability and configurability. Only after they had been shipping for a while it became unavoidable that a huge fraction of their users were linux and even freebsd users. Only after some time and only gradually they started providing a little bit of official acknowledgement and support for Linux.
But repair parts and linux os don't have anything to do with each other! zomg why is everyone conflating Framework with a linux laptop company???
Every time Fairphone release new device I check width size. Still waiting for small device.
I wonder if Meta pays phone manufacturers under the table to keep their size large
The overwhelming majority of consumers just prefer larger screens (myself included). People seem to forget that Apple releasing the Mini was them listening to the minority and the sales numbers if it were poor versus the rest of the lineup.
And why would Meta even do that?

I think it's obvious that the target audience has a huge overlap...
HN readers aren't a huge demographic.
A huge overlap in two groups would obviously be at most 100% of the smaller group.
Is there a huge demographic for grapheneOS and/or fairphone? Let alone one that doesn't overlap with the archetypes that post here?
