      Apple is a corporation with a market cap that rivals the GDP of France and a net income that rivals the GDP of Qatar. That much capital consolidated within a singular private entity doesn’t just make them any other company. Their profit seeking is wildly, wildly different than a vast majority of any other company today.

        Get your head out of your ass. ALL companies will never do anything for any other reason besides profit. The size of said company doesn’t matter. A small company will fuck over its customers just as quickly if you let them.

          This is just the “both sides of the same” argument with different dressing.

          It’s as false here as it is there. So you’re going to tell me a company like fairphone is as unethical as Apple or Samsung?

          Yes of course they work with two completely different yields but that’s really the point The only way you can get to that yield is to be unethical so choose smaller brands choose ones that make decisions you agree with and help them grow.

          There is no completely ethical capitalism but there definitely are choices that get us somewhere better.
