What's in your iPhone?

What?s In Your iPhone? | American Exploration & Mining Association
A cool illustration ...

30 milligrams of gold per phone times 700 million iPhones made (as of 3/15) = 21,000 kilograms of gold or over 675,000 Troy ounces! And that's just one brand of one phone!

We better get to diggin' so they don't run out lol!

Thanks Kevin ! And the Clowny cloony wants to stop small miners in Sudan from getting a living doing what their ancestors has have done for thousands of years
(gold mining history in Sudan goes back to 5000 BC !) Some of you are not aware of this but such clowns are a shame on humanity !

Someone might ask what this has to do with Sudanese small miners? well, long story short, Sudan is one of the major producers of gold, and if there is appropriate technology and practices is provided then there will be a significant amounts of gold could be produced which feeds the global demand for such precious metal, supplying raw material for such advanced technology e.g cell phones. Most of the gold is produced by small miners, large scale operations are still in the working, some will enter production phase in the few next years. Till then , tens of tonnes of gold is produced by small miners of which that clown is seeking to stop, which is insane

Very interesting Kevin... I work in IT and watch phones go through the shop all the time. Just to think some of the older phones had maybe a little more and a little higher quality AU in them too. Thanks for sharing.

Cool...unfortunately the camera in your Driod is no where near the quality of the
one in an iPhone 4 or 5.

Still using my aged LG VZ Navigator..a dumb phone that I wouldn't trade for any
"Smart" phone. Digital and Analog, I can get reception in places an iPhone never
could.

I use a dumb phone, had to have my daughter fix a problem with it just yesterday.
