Apple reveals 'Daisy', its robot that takes apart your dead iPhone in just 18 seconds
Apple has created a new robot named Daisy that can take apart a dead iPhone and recover precious materials such as silver and tungsten. The robot can rip apart a dead phone in just 18 seconds and is an update to Liam - the recycling bot the company announced back in 2016. Daisy is made from the same parts as her predecessor and is able to disassemble nine versions of the iPhone, sorting them into usable components. The Cupertino-based robot is able to break down nine different versions of the iPhone - and could get through 200 per hour. By removing and sorting components, Apple can recover high-quality materials that traditional recyclers can't get hold of.
