Yes reuse is better than recycling, so what's the point of Apple's recycling program if someone will buy to reuse. Any phone given to Apple to recycle is one that could have been reused. Furthermore what's the point of building a robot to recycle new iPhones that still have value instead of old ones. It also sounds underutilized if so few phone make it back. Notice how Apple doesn't break it down by model for what phones they receive back. I'd wager that most of the phones Apple gets back are the new ones from trade in. Apple is also very aggressive about making sure their products end up in landfills. https://www.theverge.com/apple/2020/10/4/21499422/apple-sues-recycling-company-reselling-ipods-ipads-watches https://www.theverge.com/apple/2020/10/4/21499422/apple-sues...
