"new base-model iPhone every year," Anyone think about the environmental impact and the ewaste this creates and that a lot of used electronics ends up in Africa and China at electronic scrapyards?

In a perfect world 100% of our cellphone is recycled and then it would be ok to get a new one each year. Except the recycling part does not work yet.

Do we want the scenes of Wall-e to become real?

Here is a documentary about where the electronic waste ends up http://www.e-wastelandfilm.com/
