Unfortunately, that's the cost you pay for a more "ethical" phone. Apple, Samsung, and all the mainstream phones are cheaper because they are subsidized by underpaid labor and sometimes even child labor.

(Not judging people who buy mainstream phones, just stating the reality.)

Thanks! I didn’t know that was part of their thing. I just thought they made the phones repairable. Has their supply chain been audited by a third party?
