Almost every phone I’ve ever replaced has been resold to somebody else to live a longer life. I assume this happens again and again until the phone is broken and is no longer worth fixing. Is this not the case? I mean, we can’t all buy used phones all the time. Somebody at some point in time has to buy a new phone. My current phone is going to be sold at a steep discount to one of my friends who has a smashed phone from like 4-5 years ago. It’s not like it’s going to the landfill. I do agree though that iPhones should be more repairable, such that battery and screen replacements are more affordable. That way, my friend might have been able to repair his phone instead of replacing it.
