Couldn’t find another decent link in that wasn’t written in Dutch, but you’ll find it at the bottom of the story.
Besides the storage and RAM, nothing else has changed.

As I understand it: Framework is for people who don’t want to sacrifice a great PC for repairability, which comes at a price. Fairphone is for people who want outdated hardware and stock Android in exchange for repairability, at pretty much the same price as a competitive product.
But: Compared to Framework, Fairphone is a pretty small company which tries to create as much of its products as possible in a sustainable manner. And for smartphones, that’s just not super easy or sustainable as a business.
Fairphone doesn’t really targer enthusiasts or the mass market, they are targeting a (sadly) small group of people who care enough about the environment to sacrifice convenience for it.
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.
