Yea that’s what happens if the company at least tries to make it repairable and not made by exploited people.
Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years

The phone is great and things can be replaced easily. My only issue with the phone is it’s price. It’s quite high compared to phones with similar specs.

It’s because they try to ethically source as much of the phone as possible, and go out of their way to pay fair wages and ensure no forced labour is used in the supply chain.
Unfortunately that adds significant cost.

That’s not unfortunate, that’s logical. Unfortunately, other companies are allowed to exploit humans and the environment for more profit despite lower prices.

It’s amazing when you realize that modern civilization as we know it depends on numerous layers of slavery, child labor, and general worker exploitation.

Also don’t forget the “externalized” costs of massive and irreversible environmental damage!

Yeah I feel all it takes is 5% of mankind to have evil / selfish intentions, to corrupt the system

Well yeah, I mean unfortunate as in it’s unfortunate it makes it a harder buy. I’m not pissed off that it’s more ethically produced.
