This is a sustainability analysis of an Apple iPhone. Every year, 1.5 billion new smartphones arrive on the market. Although, they are not all iPhones, I wanted to find out how an iPhone is made and see if the planet can take 1.5 billion new similar devices every year. I go through the minerals extracted from the earth's crust, the substances and chemicals produced by society, the impacts on our environment and ecosystems and the social aspects.
