The fondness for smartphones is such that after buying a new phone, people get bored of the old phone within some time. People of every age are using phones today, some people have a need and some people have become so addicted to the phone that they cannot tolerate being away from it even for a moment. Of course, you might have been using the phone for years but perhaps you would also be unaware that there are many precious things like gold in the phone.
Shocked, but it is true. A few years ago, a report revealed that every iPhone contains silver, gold, platinum, bronze and platinum. These valuable things in the phone will become more valuable with time.
These pricey things are included in the phone
The iPhone contains approximately 0.34 grams of silver, 0.034 grams of gold, 15 grams of copper, 0.015 grams of platinum and 25 grams of aluminum. Apart from plastic, glass and many other materials are used in making the phone.
The phone which you consider old and just throw it away in some corner of the house is a very useful thing. It was also mentioned in the report that hardly 10 percent of the valuables in the phone are removed. Apart from this, about 34 kg gold, 350 kg silver, 16 tonnes copper, and 15 kg platinum can be extracted from 10 lakh phones.
Amount of gold?
Removing gold from an old phone is not an easy thing, this process is quite complicated. The amount of gold in the phone is very less, in such a situation many smartphones will be required to get more amount of gold. This is not easy because you cannot do the work of removing gold from the phone at home, only a professional can do this work.
