“5.3 billion of them are simply discarded annually.”

That’s a lot of phones!

High IQ, high trust culture. Unlike the immigrants we get.

If 1.2 billion smartphones are manufactured each year, and 5.3 billion smartphones are discarded each year, the the number of smartphones in the world is declining by 4.1 billion per year.

That strikes me as unlikely.

More than 1.2 billion smartphones roll off factory lines each year, and the WEEE Forum estimates that 5.3 billion of them are simply discarded annually.

Net minus 4B phones every year? Seems Ike we should be running out of phones pretty quick!
