I wonder - along with a broken or outdated iPhone, will they throw away a 2TB SSD with a resource that will outlive 3-4 iPhone models? With the increase in capacity, the flash card should be easy to uninstall and move to another smartphone, even on Android. Where are eco-activists looking?
Come on iTards don't keep their phones that long, they will be on at most 2 yearly update cycle, so they won't care less about Apple using garbage grade QLC, and they'll care even less, Apple is saving money using QLC but pocketing the difference rather than giving users a discount.
