The iPhone 13 antenna is made of a plastic water bottle: the first time in the industry

In recent years, Apple has always regarded environmental protection as one of the core considerations in the production process and selection of materials, and even made some compromises in the configuration of product accessories
.
For example, the charger and earphones have been cancelled
.

The iPhone 13, which was just released not long ago, went a step further.
Judging from the exposed pictures, its packaging box canceled the plastic film and adopted a paper tear-off design instead
.

Apple said that this year, it decided not to use plastic film to cover the packaging boxes of the iPhone 13 series, thus reducing the use of plastic by 600 tons.
This move is also to achieve the goal of completely eliminating plastic packaging by 2025
.

In fact, it's more than that
.
According to information on Apple's official website, the iPhone 13 is committed to minimizing the impact on the environment, such as upgrading plastic water bottles into a stronger high-performance material to make antennas, which is the first in the industry
.

I don't know, what is the signal of the antenna made of plastic water bottle transformation material?

In addition, the iPhone also uses 100% recycled rare earth elements in magnets such as MagSafe, 100% recycled tin in motherboard solder, and the first use of 100% recycled tin in battery management unit solder
.
Both models also feature 100% recycled gold in the plating of the motherboard and the metal wires for the front and rear cameras
.

Apple said it is now carbon neutral in its global operations and plans to achieve net zero climate impact across all of its operations, including the manufacturing supply chain and all product lifecycles, by the end of 2030
.

This means that every Apple device sold will be 100% carbon neutral, from parts manufacturing, assembly, shipping, customer use, charging, to recycling of the device and materials
