No, and that's the point. Unless we make a stand we're part of the problem. So not buying. Anything. It's all slave labor offshore, and it's all fossil-fueled megaships creating climate change. Surprised I have to explain it here, where we're supposed to be sensitive to that. I'm putting my money where my mouth is.

Cool, but the rest of us kind of need a smartphone to function in modern society. Good luck with your principled stand though I guess.

Needing a smartphone is like needing a television. Get rid of it and it'll liberate your life, you can actually think like you're supposed to think as opposed to how others want you to think.

You need a TV a lot less than a smartphone. Although, I think you could get by minimum with something like a Blackberry that does email much better than any crappy dumbphone would.

Sure, I’ll just get a flip phone, a Tom Tom, an mp3 player, a... I could go on. Or I can use a smartphone that can do everything. If you want to be a Luddite have at it. However, back to your original point, none of those products are made in the US either. I guess after your first terrible point, you moved on to your next terrible one.
