I'd happily buy a device not made that way.  Except.. the problem is, with globalisation and corporation's all exploiting cheap labour.. it's basically not possible 
Even if the phone wasn't built by slave labour.  What about the modules that they used??  Then what about the individual electronic components that went into each module.  Then what about the raw materials used to press out those electronics?  Then what about the people who mined the materials?
Everyone is stepping on each others toes so much it's basically impossible to avoid.. 
And if you wanted to boycott the fortune 500 companies and opt out of global corporations dominance and exploitations you'd literally have to live in a cave down by a river somewhere..
