Apple in my opinion is one of the worst companies at sustainability. Like yes the product is fast and reliable until it doesn't. Then you have to throw the whole thing away instead of being able to change the single piece that it's not good anymore.
Yeah and I wonder how much gets recycled. E-waste is a massive issue that's been around now for decades
To put it simply.
It doesn't.
It is still cheaper to dig new shit out of the ground (due to all the environmental costs being ignored) than it is to breakdown the many metals etc within a phone for reuse.
