According to Bloomberg, Apple has recently suffered a dumb loss, Apple has been promoting and promoting environmental protection in recent years, such as the new machine does not come with a charging head, of course, the charging head is another purchase is an expense, if the iPhone is now fast charging can be improved, then each generation wants the original, you have to buy it separately, it costs a lot of money.
In addition, for example, the first to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack, as well as carbon neutrality, carbon footprint, emission reduction, energy efficiency, etc., as well as material recovery and recycling, there are special institutions to disassemble and recycle old equipment parts, and some old broken mobile phones are scrapped in cooperation with third parties.
On April 22, Earth Day, Apple proposed a trade-in and recycling campaign that is "good for you, good for the planet", but Bloomberg reported on an incident between Apple and mobile phone recycler GEEP, a company that is a partner of Apple, Apple pays for the processing of end-of-life Apple products and destroys them every year, and Apple reportedly provided 530,000 iPhones, 25,000 iPads and 19,000 Apple Watches in the first two years.
As a result, the company actually used these products to be scrapped to make profits, and they found that many of these products to be scrapped were in good condition, and most of them could still be used normally, so they used their brains to let these devices secretly flow into the market, which means that Apple's environmental protection policy was secretly changed by the cooperative company because of interests.
Apple later found that at least 99,975 products claimed to be scrapped were not matched, and these old iPhones were cleaned up by this company, of course, it was simply done, and it was possible to change the shell or brush a system or directly restore the factory settings, and then sell the nearly 100,000 old iPhones to China, and sell them on the second-hand platform by Chinese mobile phone scalpers, and obtained a lot of economic benefits.
Bloomberg reported that Apple sued the company, these ironclad evidence, but later withdrawn, it is estimated that the cooperative company will deal with it in this way, and in the court process, it will be questioned that the scrapped products can still be used normally, which is contrary to Apple's insistence on environmental protection.
So let's not talk about Apple and this mobile phone recycler, who bought the 100,000 units that flowed into the Chinese market? Undoubtedly, Apple provided scrapped products that were estimated many years ago, and the condition and function of the mobile phone were completely bad, but this kind of old flow into China, and some people still buy it, will the price be very low, or are they all interested in Apple's iPhone brand, in short, it is still incomprehensible. However, Apple's old mobile phone, after so many years, the quality still looks okay, which is the other way around, and it should be praised.
However, the old iPhone mobile phone, the configuration function is still not enough, now all kinds of APP role is too big to occupy too much memory, so many old iPhone mobile phones flow into the Chinese market, so buy old iPhone models, or pay attention, maybe you will buy foreign garbage directly, in fact, now the domestic entry machine is very good, there is no need to buy these old iPhone models, but to transport these old iPhones to China, it is simply unreasonable, or it is recommended to buy this kind of mobile phone, long snacks！
