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 ...

Every time Fairphone release new device I check width size. Still waiting for small device.

I wonder if Meta pays possible manufacturers under the table to keep even 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?

- facilitate the infinite scroll

- remind you that the phone is in your pocket, to initiate the infinite scroll

I find reading ebooks and long texts like wikipedia a lot more enjoyable on my 6.8" AMOLED panel than on the smaller screens i've had before. You can also doomscroll on smaller screens.

Sorry but this is maximum level conspiratorial thinking. Meta probably has some created some incentive for OEMs to make larger screens by way of people liking content consumption but the idea that they’d be paying for that is ridiculous lol.

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?
