Let's be honest the envionmental impact of smartphones is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. They have some bad stuff in them but considering the amounts in a smartphone I would not be too concerned. If you want to save the environment get a small house, buy a used or efficient car, take cold showers, eat cheap foods, don't buy junk, get used things, etc etc. That stuff would be way better for the environment than almost anything you could do with your phone.

I am not sure I agree with that but thanks for your sharing your opinion! ☺️ As explained in the video, what is unsustainable is the systematic nature of everything increasing all the time and consuming always more energy that we can't produce sustainably yet. And although this video is about smartphones, you can't isolate them unfortunately. It is also tablets, computers, cars, kid's toys, clothes, you name it... and the fact we don't seem to be able to keep all these products in closed loop circles.

Guess what, there are people living/trying to live on these tiny footprint/consumption measures you describe, AND do research how to transition to a sustainable smartphone production and consumption in whole of society. Btw this research happens in rich European countries, the one always crying "Oh we are so small, what can we achieve? Nobody will follow our example, and we few people have no impact :(" and the other (big) country stating "Yes we might lead the way, but, no, we can't do that alone, we don't have that much impact onto the world!" So, who the hack wants to go first?

Yes, 1) the battery represents a good chunk of the 79% of CO2 emissions from production of the iPhone and 2) Lithium is a limited resource and we will need to recycle lithium batteries for them to be sustainable.

Excellent analysis. I have an old iPhone SE (2014, I think) that I prefer as it is actually the size of an old school mobile phone and not a ginormous tablet disguised as a handheld device. Apple in all of their wisdom discontinued this model. Right to Repair legislation is desperately needed, and Apple stockholders are going to need to really ask if Apple's socially responsible marketing squares with their planned obsolescence business model which is straight out of the 1950s General Motors playbook.

It is my understanding the cardboard from most collectible card games is not recyclable and are produced by the millions. There are also tons of plastic products made to use with the cards for protection which are technically a consumable item that is non recyclable...
