I'm curious why you think that the price of the phone affects environmental impact per unit. Or why labor is more exploited per unit. Chips are cheap on the ma

  So this phone is $10 retail. In it you gotta discount amazons margin, any middle mans margin, shipping and logistics, and marketing. Now add subtract to the original manufacturer. The manufacturing has to be few or less dollars, and that has to include raw materials and labor. With such a low price it's very unlikely you have the nicest pays and most environmentally responsible practices.... There isn't enough room for it. The only plausible way imho is if all the stock to make it was already fabbed and not sold, so either they lose the already invested money or discount it significantly to minimize loss (and it'd still be a net loss)
