It might have sounded like I have an iPhone and that’s not the case. I said we lost the ability to swap batteries as a way to say the market is going there. As you said you have to look for it now when it was by default in the beginning.
But if we simply accept it we will lose it, we have to try to promote companies that care for the user and avoid the ones who don’t as you do!
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Silica mines alone prevent any phone from being ethical.
There’s different grades to things. It’s not black and white and some companies do more harmful stuff than others.
There are reparable phones and reparable laptops, some companies try to push for it and if they don’t get people’s support they will disappear.
We have even lost the ability to swap the batteries and the consumer can put pressure so some of this stuff doesn’t happen.
Newer phones are bringing back battery swapping fortunately.
I can still swap my battery. Got a earphone jack too.
I had to deliberately seek this out, but it’s there.
Yeah for sure! That’s the way to go :)

Just because there is no ethical consumption does not imply all consumption is equally unethical.
As an extreme example: Paying for CSAM directly supports those who produce it and is several magnitudes more unethical than paying an OnlyFans model.
