Hi,
I guess you both have a point: Reusing a device is more ethical than throwing
a working phone in the trash. Buying a device that tries hard not to exploit
workers in low-wage countries is more ethical than supporting a manufacturer
that optimizes solely for its own profit.

type devices.
New phones that use recycled and ethically sourced materials are great!

No, to my knowledge, we don't have a policy on that. Bu
