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.
espousing capitalist principles to fight capitalism while criticizing someone for engaging in capitalism simply because you dislike/disapprove of their choice of smartphone rings a bit disingenuous to me.
a single choice by a single person isn’t really “fighting capitalism” in any meaningful way, certainly not by doing anything more than making a symbolic gesture. Fairphones do much more to support user privacy, open-source software, the right to repair, and consumer choice than anything else.
I am still a big supported of fair phone btw. I am just not gonna buy a new phone if the current one works fine. If it breaks i will wage my needs and options.
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.
Why not? Whats stopping you?

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.
