What a silly reason to ruin the environment! Apple (and to be fair most electronics companies) are already designing irreparable land-fill-ready devices. We have companies who are willing to do the hard work of repairing/refurbishing them to prolong their life-span, only to have Apple block them.
- RandallBrown 6y agoApple already sells refurbished phones. Presumably the phones they send to the recycling company they've deemed unrepairable to their standards. I don't think this company is necessarily selling working iPhones.
- ksk 6y agoYeah, repair companies often buy these broken devices so they can salvage parts. Its really sad that they're forced to do this as Apple forces third-party parts manufacturers to only sell parts to them. Its ironic, since Apple doesn't do board/circuit repair anyway, they just replace the entire mainboard, generating even more e-waste.
