Apple has long had a recycling program. You think the environmental impact of smartphone consumption would be lessened if everyone bought $40 smartphones? What is the environmental impact of each of those phones?
- Need to replace battery? Poof, new phone.
- Need to replace screen? Poof, new phone.
- Need to replace... ANYTHING? You guess it, a new frackin phone!
How the hell is this environmental friendly? (obviously enough, I'm talking about the _official_ solution of these issues; I'm aware that you can change mostly anything)

PS: long time iPhone user here; next phone(s) will surely be another iPhone.
