Earlier this year Apple announced the number of active, in-use iPhones has risen to over a billion for the first time. Pretty cool. Until you remember one day they’ll all need disposing of.

What Does Apple Do With Old iPhones?
source
Surprise surprise China won’t recycle for the world anymore so what now
Here in africa especially south africa we dont accept refurbished iphone we get them new
I don’t think Apple will receive too many broken iPhones since people won’t get any vouchers for them.
This is amazing
That some f*** Indian government thankfully declined Apple's offer to sell refurbished shits to India
What the duck do I care tho shit I’m here fuck
Not enough
1:27 That’s not a clip of Austin. That’s Dallas, Texas!
What does Li Tong do to materials that cannot be reused from the e waste?
Apple phone Good
Let's be clear about this, Apple would not do this unless it was good for their bottom line. As I always have said, I will not recycle anything until it makes economic sense. Apple has found a way to make recycling old phones pay for them.
Great vid, and thanks
I’m just glad that it does get recycled.
Very good apple, If there are suckers then use them. The greed of these people is so incestuous they just realized that their constant upgrades would create a glut on the market so they take back your phones and sell it to unsuspecting, brand hungry apple lovers for a killing. And the people BUY it..WOW…Thank Goodness I have never visited nor will I even try to visit the Apple ecosystem…no sir…
Atleast they get recycled, phew
Nice video.
I love the way he always ends the video in context to the content…
3:01 "And don't forget to subscribe for more carefully recycled tech content."
They gather all the old iPhones melted together to make a colossal statue of Steve Jobs
my question is, what does apple do with their discontinued models? For example, what happened to all the iPhone12/pro models on the day that they were removed from the apple website? were they destroyed?
They crush them, then use them as soy fertilizer.
Amazing
I like that phrase: 2:45 "…so Apple does its best to extract value from your old iphone…" though this value extraction had already begun the moment they signed the contract for shipment of freshly mined/recovered raw materials from the overexploited parts of the developing world. I'd prefer not to white wash/green wash the act of value extraction by these capitalist hoarders. The problem is not Capitalism as a system, the problem is we never get the right people in authority of the system. But we'll probably never find the right people when the game is so rigged already.
Recycling is bad
Refurbished should be last step
1 should be reuse
2 repair
and only then refurbish
This is how we save the environment
Apple care only for money, not environment.
1:17 Damn, I was wondering what Apple's Daisy did with all those old iphones
hey recycling old mobile devices to have a 2nd life in someone else's hands is a good idea it's better than placing it in landfills
If they stop making it hard to repair… That would be far better than what they are doing
i hate to say that the Apple really doing a great work for the environment . imagine if all the iphones are thowrn to a bin or something
Go to Asia and you can find thousands of 2nd hand iPhones in shops. They are 10:1 more than all used Android phones.
Mrs Jane is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy?
Africa is not a country….it's a continent
Trade in!!!! They get it, fix it up and resell it!!!
Turn it in for recycling via apple store directly or requesting a package that can be mailed to you. While you may or may not get something for it, it at least keeps it out of the trash and is recycled properly.
Instead Apple should focus on their phone to last longer than couple of years. Yes many of their phones and Macbooks do not last more than a couple of years and many people throw it in Trash which causes a greater environmental threat
this should be the norm, but the part about taking out the chargher and headphones, is utter bulls*it, it produce a ton more waste if you want a charger and headphone along with the device, and you also spend more money because apple
Apple does it to make money period. Reselling an old phone makes money, keeping boot leg phones off the market means people buy new Apple phones which makes money. Good PR to look like they care about the environment, makes money.
