Apple’s greed is killing the planet (and screwing you, too)

Your iPhone won't last forever, even if you want it to. You'll crack the screen, or its battery will crap out, and if the physical flaws don't get you, the software will: Some approaching iOS update will either slow that sucker down or render it obsolete.

And then you'll have to buy a new one. Which sucks, assuming you'd prefer not to be on the hook for $700 every couple of years—and assuming you'd rather not deplete the planet's limited mineral resources (needed for batteries), or send dangerous e-waste to junk heaps in foreign countries.
