“Beginning to End: The iPhone” is an informational graphic poster that takes the viewer through the production, transportation, retail, and end-of-life stages of an iPhone.

 

An iPhone is a powerful device that not only makes an impact on society but on the environment as well. While it is an essential everyday item, consumers are not often aware of the creation of an iPhone and how to properly dispose of the device when the time comes.

 

I understood the environmental impacts of cellular devices on the earth, but after researching, I now acknowledge how serious the issue is. 5.3 million iPhones were thrown away in 2022, leaving the Earth and humans exposed to toxic chemicals and pollutants.

 

This informational graphic is valuable as it highlights information, not common knowledge, to the average iPhone user. It provides insight into how we have the power to direct the course of the life cycle and choose sustainable options.
