Normally, The after sale service people of Apple would like to change a new handset when the customer get problem with his IPhone. It’s because this handset is not easy to uninstall and replace the parts inside, and also there’s another reason for doing this: The gold.

By an investigation of Socialbarrel, they found there’s gold, silver, copper, and etc in an Iphone. The quantity may be low it’s only one Iphone, but when it comes to ONE TON, or when it comes to 5 million Iphone, you’ll find the value of the gold is not small.

For Five Million Iphone, there’s 7.9 Million USD gold, 1.8 Million USD silver inside it. For one ton Iphone, there’s 9.27 ounce gold inside it!! There’s no any gold mine in the world could reach this grade, it’s over hundreds times of the average grade of the gold mine.

This news reminds me about the recycle industry of computers, MP3, MP4, tablet pc, handset, and so on. And these kinds of electronic products are changing fast. Every year, we could get million tons of these used electronic products allover the world. These electronic trash is not only trash, it’s will become a “gold mine” when you know how to mining it.
