> if faced with 2 phones of similar capabilities, 1 costs 500, 1 costs 200, which would you pick?

People love to hate on Apple, but the $200 phone in your example is definitely an Android and definitely has same-or-worse manufacturing practices as Apple.

A better example of what OP probably meant would be $200 iPhone vs $500 Librem 5 USA.

You are being all over this thread defending Apple, do you have something to disclose? Even if what you say it is true, it is less immoral because at least they sell the phone damn cheap.Apple is pocketing the huge markup all by itself (And yes their shareholders, 99% of them rich people), and these Indian guys are paid 6 dollars a day.

No; I don't have any meaningful relationship with Apple.
