When we charge properly for the high cost of throwaway devices, I expect this to change. What we do right now is toxic and wasteful.

- chrisseaton 6y agoApple will re-furbish or re-cycle your device for free. In fact they'll pay you for it. Plus how many devices does Apple save from needing to be replaced by adding water resistance?
- ddingus 6y agoWater resistance is not new, nor required to be as repair toxic as Apple methods often are. And the recycling is itself toxic. Recycling, in the view of people seeking more robust, enduring gear, is mitigation, not a solution. It is entirely possible to make things that last. Like big pharma sees real cures as bad for business, buy once, use for a very long time is also bad for business. There are huge costs associated with both ideas.
