Or just trade it in — you can still do that directly with apple back to the 6s (which is 7 years old now). Used market for iPhones is pretty good too; apple products retain resale value better than others. Ultimately, given the above, I don’t think ewaste is a big problem with iPhones. Apple either refurbishes and sells it in a market that still values older phones, or recycles it. I also support right to repair and any legislative efforts to force apple and others to stop deliberately making phones hard to repair. But given the trade-in value and used markets, I’m not sure why anyone would toss it in the trash or keep it in a drawer!
