Are you saying it would be better if there weren’t a second-hand market? I’m not sure I really understand why that would be better. Maybe there’s a story one could tell for how someone’s situation would be better in such a world?
- soulofmischief 2y agoI'm just saying that Apple doesn't get to point to a second-hand market to greenwash their products. I do agree that their phones potentially enjoy a longer average lifespan than the average Android, especially with extended security updates.
- dan-robertson 2y agoI think I’m more confused by the claim that my statement above is ‘predicated on a hierarchical economic class system’. I don’t particularly want to argue about whether you or I live under a class system that is particularly hierarchical or economic, so let’s just suppose that we do. Why would my claim above (not sure whether you mean that vibrant 2nd hand market => less e-waste, or that selling a device where the battery hasn’t been replaced could lead to the buyer paying for a battery replacement and potentially reselling) not apply without such a hierarchical economic class system? Maybe I misunderstood what ‘predicated’ meant?
