Nice false appeal to hypocrisy to deflect away from the issue of animal exploitation, and blatant whataboutism. 2 wrongs don't make a right. That's a terrible argument.
"Hey, stop beating kids!"
"BuT I sAw yOu UsInG a SmArTpHoNe!"
So as per your own admission (pretty much any device you could be using), that's essentially unavoidable in the current world we live in if you want to be a functional person. Are animal products avoidable? Yes.
That said, I bought my phone second hand from someone who doesn't have an incentive or means to sell more. So I did not financially support any of the practices involved in the production. And only once it breaks down completely, my next phone will be a Fairphone, which is essentially the only ethical phone and didn't exist when I got my current phone. What's your next argument? Oh wait, all the arguments against veganism/defending animal exploitation are just bad faith, rubbish attempts to avoid addressing your own behaviour anyway.
