Meet Daisy, Apple's newest iPhone-recycling robot

Daisy is Apple's latest "disassembly" robot. Apple's latest "disassembly" robot can take apart 200 iPhones an hour, letting Apple recover materials it says that traditional recyclers cannot. This new robot, Daisy, is capable of disassembling any of nine iPhone models. The Cupertino, Calif. announced Daisy as part of its environmental initiatives ahead of Earth Day Sunday. Daisy incorporates technology and some recycled parts from Apple's previous disassembly robot Liam, which launched in 2016 and was created after years of R&D.
