    Well there is stuff like Fairphone, which do also other things like earbuds I think. Haven’t used it myself though but I am keeping an eye on these things for my next phone.

      Fairphones and all those products are all well and good and I want to support them, but they simply do not run like an iPhone. Apple has a lot of issues, but there’s a reason they still sell. And it’s not just teenagers using their mommy and daddy‘s money/socialites/influencers chasing designer tech. The iPhone from a moment to moment experience is generally considered the best and their camera(s) still do amazing work.

      A lot of the things that people like us care about simply do not matter as much to the larger market. Most people do not actually want to repair their electronics and they don’t really care if Apple or some third-party handles it. It’s why people have to lobby so hard for things like right to repair and educate people on these issues
