Apple, Sony, and everyone still uses Foxconn to make their stuff and it appears no one has boycotted the client company's products over it. I think as it stands right now, it makes them money.
Of course morally, someone should fix it. However, the market hasn't created a financial incentive.
- diydsp 13y agore: market. I've been waiting for this "fair phone" with baited breath. it's supposed in ship pre-orders in December now! http://buy-a-phone-start-a-movement.fairphone.com/en/fairphone-excl-charger.html http://buy-a-phone-start-a-movement.fairphone.com/en/fairpho... but can anyone tell me if this is compatible with U.S. carriers such as T-Mobile? It is very focused on Europe! It's not perfect, but it's emphasis is on sourcing materials fairly, which is a problem on par with that of coercive labor problem. they also claim to be improving labor conditions.
- adam-a 13y agoI went to an event they held in London recently and got to try one out. They seem to have a working product right now and are in the process of firming up their supply and manufacturing, and polishing the software. They acknowledge their phone won't be perfect, but they want to improve as they go and they seem to be making a lot of strides already in stuff like mineral sourcing and labour practices. It has a dual-sim and I'm pretty sure the guy said it would work internationally.
