Buy secondhand, especially if you still want iphones. Money goes to lower class (something like Facebook marketplace has no tax), no money to “less bad” competing companies, and you’ll get a much cheaper product which still has the “appleness” you want.

Yeah, China did this with Iran as well, didn’t do shit. But I guess it gets more people to like china, and view it as the next superpower which actually helps weaker countries, unlike America which just bullies Ukraine.
