The iPhone X won’t (totally) destroy the environment. Here’s why
It's no secret that the production and disposal of smartphones has a major impact on the environment. But if you're nervous that your iPhone is slowly destroying the planet, you may want to check out Apple's environmental reports, which reveal everything from the materials used in its products to info on recycling and restricted substances to carbon emission data.
Apple recently published its environmental report for the iPhone X and revealed that a single phone is estimated to produce 79 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions over the course of its life.

It also makes for a bigger carbon footprint than that of any other iPhone except the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
According to Apple's estimates, each iPhone model creates the following greenhouse gas equivalent:
