  Fairphone costs more because they give a shit about their impact and workers, of course it's not the best bang for your buck when they gotta spend more money paying their workers fairly.

  That does not make it a scam in any way.

    You can still buy a refurbished phone, it arguably has less environmental impact to any new phone, even a fairphone

      For some bizarre reason, although I prefer and lean towards certified refurbished electronics in like every other arena and regularly suggest them to friends and family, I hadn’t considered one here, for my next cell phone. Thank you for this so-simple suggestion! 🤦‍♀️
