Hey, I see a pile of Iphones, Ipods, Iwhatevers in the junk heap in the background.
Tossed because the batteries died or Apple stopped supporting them.
Funny how Apple claim to be environmentally friendly when their products become doorstops within a very short period of time. I have a drawerful of useless Apple products that haven’t made it to the landfill yet. But soon... very soon.
iPhone, iPod, iPad batteries are replaceable, dhs.

My original iPhone is still going strong eight years later with it's original battery. It was finally retired as a phone, after being handed down through my family, last year in March, but it was handed down to my three year old grand daughter as an iPod touch to be used as a game machine, still on its original battery, which holds about an 80% charge.
My original iPad still works with its original battery, five years later, also having been handed down. The screen had to be replaced when my younger daughter dropped it off the top of her car. . . but even that cost less than $50 to replace.
Those things in the back ground are all the Android phones and tablets that cannot be traded or sold because 1) the cannot be upgraded; and 2) you cannot erase the personal data on them to hand them off to anyone and be assured you are not including personal data. OOPS! Golly darn. 670,000 Android devices cannot be completely erased to be safely sold or even handed down to family members! The only safe way to get rid of them is to shred them! LOL!
Apple devices are easy to return to Factory New condition, safely blank condition. . . and command a premium resale value so do NOT end up in landfills.
Frankly, I don't believe you have a drawerful of useless Apple products. I resell mine when I upgrade now, not handing them down to family members anymore because they can afford their own and I can usually sell my old iPhone for more than the initial contract payment for a new one. . . sometimes twice as much. Why would I toss it into a drawer? Erase it and sell it, lower the Total Cost of Ownership.

You can send them to me if you don't want to take the time to put them on eBay. No point in sending valuable goods to the landfill.
