If it is really for environmental protection, this kind of mobile phone that can enter the official channel for repair and reuse should obviously be recycled, but Apple allows them to flow into the second-hand market or even be discarded. What about the environmental protection that you promised?
If you have a good memory, you should also know about the iPhone 12 series charging head reduction incident from the previous year.
Apple claimed at the time that consumers had 5V1A headers, but the standard C to L cable was not compatible with the USB-A interface of the 5V1A charger, and the new generation of iPhones was not cheaper than before, even a cent.
If you have a better memory, you will also find that in the past few years, the data cables made by Apple's so-called environmentally friendly recycling materials are particularly easy to damage. Consumers often choose to throw them away and buy one. The official wire is not included for the time being. Do you think it is environmentally friendly? !
I don’t know if many people really don’t know, or pretend to be stupid, the recycling process itself does have costs.
The so-called free recycling means that I will deal with the garbage for you, and there is no charge. In fact, even the garbage recycling points in various communities are not truly free recycling, and the property actually costs a lot of money.
So what is really worth discussing is not free recycling, but everyone's understanding of garbage. You can tolerate used batteries slowly becoming dangerous items at home, and you can tolerate used digital products taking up space at home, so of course you can not recycle them. But from Apple's perspective, as long as electronic devices that cannot or are not worth renovating and disposing of, it is garbage. After doing it, some metals will be recycled and reused, but anyone with discerning eyes will know that mining and processing brand new metals will most likely be cheaper.
But from the perspective of many users, even iPhone 6s is still valuable. It is impossible to give it to Apple for free. But one day, when there is a personal payment for discarded harmful substances, you may understand what Apple means to use for free recycling!
In fact, in Europe, where there is a strong sense of environmental protection and even has a heavy environmental protection tax, the cost of handling expired items is very high. For example, many big brands of perfumes will be sent to outlet for discount promotion before expiration. The reason is very simple. The cost of recycling and processing these things is very high, and a large part of them is actually dealing with environmental protection issues.
There are many things we may not understand now, but the trend is irreversible. When one day, when you need to buy cheap scraps to deal with orders like buying new products, you may hope someone can help you deal with them for free!
One more thing, it’s up to you to decide whether to recycle it or not! But if you have a TV or an old Android phone at home, you might as well consult the recycling price. It is really no different from selling garbage. No one even cares about it. When the garbage cannot be easily discarded one day, how do you deal with these seemingly valuable garbage?
