Completely understandable.
The way I often describe it is if I was wanting to buy a mid-range phone with the technical specs of a fairphone, I’d buy something cheaper with the same specs.
But if I’m happy to spend over £600 on a phone - which imo is absolutely at the luxury end of pricing - then I’m looking more at overal quality, and the combination of repairability, fair(er) sourced materials, etc, makes it better.
However why anyone would spend a grand plus on a phone is absolutely beyond me.
For a lot of people, their phone is the most useful and frequently used device they encounter in their day. Forking over a lot of money for a luxury version is less insane when seen from that context.
Yep, spend your money where you spend your time. This applies to basically everything.
I’m also a big believer in investing in quality items for anything that touches your body all the time—clothes, chairs, sheets. It is one of the most effective strategies I know for self care.
You’re missing the point completely.
