Does your phone come with an expiry date?

Does your new phone have a shelf-life that’s shorter than your contract? Is its lack of repairability driven by manufacturers or by us constantly clamouring for the latest feature-packed model?

He learns the shocking reality of what it takes to make a phone, is surprised to find out what happens if you recycle one, and hears how phone companies may be putting you at risk.
