What’s in your Apple iPhone

[itsourtubenow]

Soo your telling me that my iPhone travels more then me?

[alecringberg]

“Capacitator”. That’s my favorite word in this video.

Apple wants to build iphones from recycled parts? I bet they still won't decrease their prices. Though, they might increase it.

[sunnylivingit]

those extract materials aren't just used for apple but also for other smartphones too ! nothing is exclusive to apple in terms of materials!!

[Blitznstitch]

I'm holding the world in my hand.

[nabeelmohammedca]

Not just Iphone, every smartphone uses these components and manufacturing processes.

[jochlebowski]

Instead of throwing rocks at Apple, we should have enough self esteem so that we don’t feel the need to buy new phones every year or even every six months. If people stick with their devices for some years, companies like Apple will have to support them for longer periods of times. In that way we all win!!!

So APPLE has more elements in it than the Apple we eat.

What's in your iPhone?

*Hefty price tag.*

[alexstevens]

I don't know why we're focusing on phones when other products we use daily use A LOT more of these materials (laptops, TVs, cars, etc.)

[Carristoford]

[ShinichiKudoQatnip]

Wow...got a new way of thought...thanks 😄

[glappou]

jerry rigs everything does this for me.

[JIMMY_NEMESIS]

Ok...woahh this went deep, didnt expect that but very nice

[arash]

When its all an ad at the end :
....Into one of The most advanced pieces of technology that fits in the palm of our hands. Introducing you The palm phone.

[akshaykaylaser]

But doesn't the bill of materials stay the same on every new iPhone and yet the price increases?

[katlehokomeke]

Interesting video. I'm impressed.

[MHyder-vcib]

This probably signifies why the cost of production is so high!
Make a vid on one plus too

Holy Molly! I thought an iPhone is sth that I can "cook" in Mama's kitchen.
