eWaste is piling up as phones are designed to not be repaired or recycled easily

In an age of resource scarcity where specific materials required to make computer (and phone, tablets, etc.) chips, our smartphones and tablets are still designed not to be easily repairable or even recycled, with components glued together as tight as possible. The following article from The Atlantic highlighted this ongoing issue, saying that even where facilities exist, recycling is really not an option for our old phones, which is really a shame: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/09/reuse-old-iphone-recycle-electronic-waste/671459/ Time to have companies think longer than a couple of years in a product lifecycle.

          Apple should change this ... As a giant organization it should lead by a good example in encouraging sustainability and circulars

            Apple should definitely reform its business model, it's not adapted to the challenges we are facing
