Except instead of carrying sticks, you carry slave labour made Iphone while being 10x more aware of your environment. I guess its almost the same…

It’s funny, because we’re allowed to import the Hong Kong / India manufactured iPhones, but we’re forbidden from importing Chinese mainland manufactured Huawei phones or Dutch designed / Chinese manufactured Fair Phones. Nevermind the conditions under which the two kinds of phones are manufactured. Nevermind who primarily profits from their sale. Nevermind their quality or cost.
You’re only permitted to purchase/use devices that benefit domestic market interests.
I think fairphone is more adamant on fair conditions even if it is manufactured in China. Dont they just not want to support US for now?
You most likely can get a decent phone manufactured in decent conditions if you want and dont even need to overpay yourself as much. I have been eyeing Gigaset because it is made in Germany.
Despite that, even most of the people here dont. Little peasant with “sticks” is a bit hypocritical when you have maximum awareness and an ability to start making order in your close proximity.

More that US Carriers deliberately stick to non-global-standard frequencies in order to raise the cost of outside competition.

If you can, I haven’t seen it. Modular phone development in the states has been dead for ages, thanks to the cartelization of domestic manufacturers. And US manufacturers have been exiting China in large part because they can get even lower labor prices in poorer nations across the South Pacific.
