If I buy smartphones, I always go for second hand so as not to create demand...(still using a 5s)
By buying second hand you're helping to finance the seller's new phone.

The seller would buy a phone anyway. The resale doesn’t fully fund the new purchase.
It’s not ideal but it’s re-using the cats that are already out of the bag.
I used to work with a large IT/Comms company. The idea that we should be searching out of slave free, conflict mineral free hardware with provenance throughout the supply chain was regarded with blank stares.
Nokia pre MS purchase seemed to tick the boxes, but who wants a Nokia these days? Yeah I know they are back independent.But what’s the other option if you want to integrate into society via smartphone, but don’t want to directly fund Foxconn?
