“Apple has rolled out an iPhone X-specific environmental impact, [report] with the page suggesting that the high-end OLED device is more recyclable with less impact on the environment than any of the company’s devices that have come before,” Mike Wuerthele reports for AppleInsider.
“Apple notes that the device is absent of beryllium, brominated flame retardants, mercury, and polyvinyl chloride. The glass is arsenic-free, and the frame it recyclable stainless steel,” Wuerthele reports. “All of the device’s packaging fibers come from 175 grams of bamboo, managed forest, recycled paper, or waste sugar cane.”
Wuerthele reports, “The battery itself is mercury-, lead- and cadmium-free.”

Yes. By creating a product and announcing it but not delivering it, you will have less environmental impact. Quite clever actually.
Apple won’t say, but I hear it’s also gluten free.
Also, it’s low in salt, especially if you’re not very near the ocean. And of course, there’s no added sugar. On a slightly less flippant note though, iirc, Apple did place a notice on the very first iPods warning people not to eat it presumably because someone thought it was an actual fruit . . . Although this may have been an urban myth.
Too bad, a product that removes pollutants from the atmosphere for example would have a high environmental impact that would certainly be welcome.
my God, you’re an idiot.
Seriously, there’s some dumb motherfúckers that post here: TxUser, Melvin, Auramac, Breeze…but, you are the king…it’s like you’ve taken stupid to a new level not seen since the Dark Ages.

Does Prime Menstrual Trudy’s Canadian Health Care provide you a nanny that won’t explain the intricacies of velcro to you? Who makes your bed? Who brushes your teeth? Who fixes you Malt-O-Meal?
jeez.
Less environmental impact than an iPod Shuffle or a Pencil stylus? Whatever
Apple should invent something more eco-friendly regarding radio frecuency pollution (wifi, blutooth, cellular)

I most certainly will not… it’s none of your damned business.
I don’t give a fat rats ass about its environmental impact. I’m focused on this nasty date I have lined up tonight on the environmental impact I am going to have on her …
I kinda like brominated flame retardants…they’re useful for Sorosian trolls.
iPhone X is more green or it takes more green to buy one? When does environmentalism have to cost so much?
