When Apple’s chief marketing maven, Phil Schiller, said the new line of iPhones were designed to be “environmentally friendly,” my interest was piqued (I’m the guy behind the iFixit teardowns). Because there is no such thing as an environmentally friendly phone — especially one without an easily replaceable battery. It’s irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

Last night, we pulled apart both the iPhone 5s and 5c to see just how truthful Apple is being. How green are Apple’s new iPhones, really?

They’re not the least repairable phones Apple has put out … but they’re not really environmentally friendly, either. And the iPhone 5c is not as recyclable. When it comes to being green, both of these qualities really matter.
