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.

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.

edit: spelling

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.
