– Apple’s iPhone pips Android to the post with the most environmentally conscious user base.<\/em>

– Both Apple and Android users have a high awareness of Earth Day.<\/em>
– Alarmingly, 33.5% of Android phone owners and 23.6% of iPhone owners don’t recycle old smartphones, instead putting them in a drawer or trashcan.<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

iPhone users inch ahead in wanting greener smartphones, but Android users are not far behind them!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple, and manufacturers of Android smartphones, have been busy in terms of recent launches, giving their prospective user bases devices that really push green credentials. As initiatives like Apple’s “Green Bonds”<\/a> and Samsung’s ditching single-use plastics<\/a> demonstrate, manufacturers are seeking ways to cut carbon emissions and increase neutrality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SellCell’s survey of 3000+ smartphone users comparing the views of circa 1500 iPhone users and 1500 android users, shows that fans of both ecosystems do<\/em> care, and the majority of people would be willing to pay for more environmentally friendly smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but phone users will sell an iPhone<\/a> or Android device when they upgrade, and will also consider buying a refurbished smartphone<\/a> rather than a factory-sealed device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
