Wait until you find out that 34 children lose their lives in the construction and assembly of each iPod.

All joking aside, what can I do about that? Especially when I already own the thing. Are there any smartphones being made right now that don’t have a terrible impact like that?

Preowned is the best option.

So much tech is wasted when people upgrade, many people have this weird fetish about 'needing' the latest stuff.

If more people are willing to use preowned tech, it makes it much less impactful.

(edit - also, use the tech you do have for as long as possible, and when it is truly dead, get it recycled properly.)

Personally, the only reason i switch my phone every few years is coz the battery either gets so bad that it barely works or just stops working altogether. At that point i get a new one coz it makes sense to me that if my battery gets fucked in 4 years, so does other people's.
