A huge percentage of consumer electronics—including smartphones—are manufactured by a small number of often questionable companies. Microsoft, Dell, HP, Lenovo, all have similar supply chains and manufacturing. I'm not entirely sure what a good way to pick an "ethical" manufacturer is. One thing I like about Apple is they are somewhat transparent and at least seem to audit their supply chain. It would be nice if instead of doing pieces like this, these organizations would give a list of manufacturers they recommend and why.
