      @@snowhunter7536 “Apple has been the biggest profit and revenue generator in the handset business. In Q2 2021, it captured 75% of the overall handset market operating profit and 40% of the revenue despite contributing a relatively moderate 13% to global handset shipments. While this performance shows the power of the Apple brand, it is still lower than the peak of Q4 2020 when its revenue share reached a staggering 50%, up from 28% in Q3 2020, and its profit share reached an unprecedented 86%, up from 51% in the previous quarter. While there was a significant jump in its shipment share, from 9% to 17% in the same period, the extent of its revenue share reflects the success of its first 5G-enabled iPhone series. Apple also benefits from interoperability between its devices. The convenience with which one may shift between a Mac, iPad and an iPhone encourages users of one Apple device to stay within the Apple ecosystem by acquiring other of the brand’s devices. This is made possible by Apple’s significant control over both hardware and software, enabling a seamless shift of work on an app between multiple devices. While this has been the case for some time, it has become particularly pronounced with the stickiness of music, media, news, storage, etc. Apple is likely to retain this edge, enabling it to continue charging premium prices for its handsets, thus maintaining high operating profit margins.”

    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.

    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.

    I have a perfectly working iPhone. However, because Apple no longer provides updates four years after purchase, but the apps all require an update, a fully functional iPhone has become completely useless. And that's just so you can buy a new, overpriced iPhone. This is not sustainable, environmentally friendly or economical! So no, I don't think that Apple dose a lot for the environment. The only thing Apple is doing is filling it's pockets!

    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.
