How Green Is Your iPhone? (Infographic)

0 by Beth Buczynski on April 26, 2011

With over 100 million iPhones sold, Apple is a legitimate tech gorilla. But what's the environmental impact of all those apps?

On Earth Day, we posted an interesting article about Greenpeace's ranking of Apple as one of the dirtiest technology companies in existence because of its heavy reliance on "dirty" data centers.

This got us to thinking about Apple's massive hold on the smartphone market, and how all that dirty energy might trickle down into the carbon footprints of iPhone owners.

Luckily, Geekaphone just finished its green study of the iPhone and wrapped it all up in a tasty infographic for you to enjoy!
