Since the original iPhone was released in 2007, Apple releases an update to its smartphone every year. At first it was just a new model, but now we have 4 new iPhones a year, look at the iPhone 15. Many people are starting to think that this is not necessary, but Apple has officially answered this question: Why do they release a new iPhone every year?

Apple CEO Tim Cook met with Brut. For an interview where he answers this question and other very interesting questions. Cook answered the following questions: We have to launch a new iPhone every year, how could the iPhone be 20-30 years from now? and what you do in your personal life to help the environment.

Why is a new iPhone released every year?

A travel question. Considering the power of Apple chips, evolution between models is quite small in most caseswith very subtle differences. But Tim Cook justifies it:

I think it’s a great thing for people who want to have an iPhone every year. What we do is let people replace their phones. And if it still works, we will sell that phone again. And if it doesn’t work, we have ways to take it apart and get the materials needed to build a new iPhone.

It should also be taken into account that iPhone has a long replacement period and most users don’t replace it until 3 or 4 years later.. A new iPhone is not primarily designed for those who have a year-old iPhone.

What will the iPhone be like in 20 or 30 years?

Interesting question, they passed More than 16 years have passed since the arrival of the original iPhone and the device has changed a lot. What will happen to the iPhone in 20 years:

I think it will be carbon neutral. Frankly, I think it will be much further than the current situation, but I wouldn’t want to give you all our secrets about it. I will just say that from an environmental perspective it will be carbon neutral.

iPhone will be carbon neutral in the coming years

aims to become Apple Carbon neutral by 2030 and is already taking steps in this direction. The new Apple Watch Series 9 is the company’s first carbon-neutral device, and the iPhone will surely be next.

What are Tim Cook’s green efforts?

Gross. Moreover He asked Tim Cook about his ecological conscience and what he himself does to leave the smallest footprint on the planet.

I drive an electric car. I try to stay away from plastic and plastic bottles. I recycle. I am composting. All these things that I try to do, everything that I do, I try my best to do something that has less of a carbon footprint.

Interesting statements from Tim Cook. It seems so Apple will continue to release an iPhone a year, at least for a while. This is something that other product lines don’t have; Macs and iPads can go longer without being updated.
