Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

    Used phones are ethically better than new phones. That’s a fact. If you buy used fairphones then that’s even better but they make such a bad product you have to buy it on ethics alone. If you’re buying on ethics then again, used is better.

    You’re just spouting peak consumer copium and claiming it’s a fact.

      I have never said you should buy a new or even a Fairphone to begin with. You’re trying to deflect from the actual discussion and make it look like I said certain stuff I never even said

        That’s what my initial comment was about so if you’re this far without knowing that it’s pretty clear you’re not reading very well.

          My initial answer to your comment made it pretty clear that I was explaining to you one reason as to why these phones are more expensive than other ones. That was it. If you’re this far without noticing what the discussion was about maybe it’s you that isn’t reading very well

            And I’m saying they need to have value other than ethics to sell new phones because used are more ethical.

            Not making stuff is greener than making stuff.
