Yeah that would make sense if there weren’t other options. iPhones are basically the poster child for conspicuous consumption. They’re expensive, flashy, objectively worse than the competition, and have a shadier production chain historically than other brands. Even using an old iPhone is an option that doesn’t contribute to issues caused by global capitalism. These products when properly cared for could last a life time and yet…

We cant all own a Fairphone and credit where credit is due, Privacy wise apple seem to be the most professional big corp around.
Privacy is always something to consider for those involved in activism.
We cant all own a Fairphone
Why not? Whats stopping you?
Well i can, and i kinda want to. Though my current phone is far from dead and i tend to make em last.
But if every anti capitalist is gonna need one then production could never keep up. Because people genuinely need a phone for participating in society they cant wait months when their current one breaks.
It would be a clear incentive for fairphone to expand production and as we all know greed corrupts.
We need more corporations like fairphone.
They are for sale so there is zero excuse not to buy one instead of an iphone until they run out.
Create demand and production will happen. Something something capitalism.
You’re saying we should try ethically consuming under capitalism? Novel.
