People died getting the raw materials out of the ground to make this. Many of their bodies were just left in the ground, some were children. Many others died of disease from becoming contaminated with by-products of the purification process.
People literally died to make this device and it’s going to be obsolete in few months ostensibly for security reasons, but also so I’ll be forced to buy a new phone.
we all know that no matter what they cost, they wont be built to last under capitalism. my 10 year old phone works just fine but cant install any modern apps. my 5 year old phone works just fine, and so many major banking and even government apps no longer work. bc we live in hell, we have to have a new phone with worse featureset, more lockdowns, that last even less and cost more bc “security” or whatever the fuck. i hope someday this changes
till then i try my very best to use fdroid for most apps (ofc minus banking and government bc we live in hell)
Get yourself a fairphone next time you need a smartphone. They’re not perfect, but they’ve tried to disentangle their supplier chain from the orphan crushing machine as much as possible.

Long live the Orphan Crushing Machine.
oh but u see its very expensive to recycle so we gotta keep crushing orphans. u wouldnt want ur iphone to be $5000 right
tbh they gonna keep increasing prices and not do anything differently so. i love the world
frankly the world would be better if smartphones cost 5000$ but then also lasted 15-20 years
