Pine64 has always been open and explained why things happen etc, so if they tell me my next pinephone motherboard is 50% more expensive because they choose to manufacture it at a different factory I would gladly pay it.
I wonder if there any phone completely build in a democratic country. IF anyone knows let us know.
I do not think so, because it wouldn't be 50% more expensive, probably 10-20 times more expensive.
Sadly, the abuse on Chinese, Indian, etc workers is so disproportioned that it would be very difficult to compete.
I would gladly pay 50, 100%, or 200% more for a "democratic PinePhone"... but as I said before, probably it would be much more than that...
