Wish I could, and I’m completely with you on both manufacturing and mining needed to enable our phone addictions. But I need it to function in modern society, much like my car or industrially farmed food. Being reachable and being able to reach out 24x7 is now an expectation. I don’t have the practiced skills to be useful as an agrarian, and not being into religion I’m pretty sure the Amish wouldn’t take me in.

Once the not-user-serviceable battery dies or hardware start to glitch at around 2 years of age a replacement is mandatory for me. Apple’s phones seem to be designed for a service life of 3-4 years rather than 1-2, so that may be a way to help.
