According to an electronics recycling company in Colorado, tens of thousands are operational iPhones end up useless due to the device protection system.
ΤThis is due to the non-reset of the devices to the factory settings by the owners. H Wireless Alliance disassembled 66.000 iPhones to spare parts, for the last three years, because of the system "activation lock”By Apple.
This feature protects the device from third party access and can be very useful in case of loss or theft, as it can indicate to the owner where the device is.
"Tens of thousands of good devices are thrown in the trash and recycled every year because of the activation lock," the report said. "Last year alone, it was observed that one in four iPhones had activation lock enabled."
Clearly recycling old appliances is clearly better than throwing them away and boosting pollution. But the most correct and friendly way of recycling is the one that allows the reuse of each device.
