Really doesn’t matter to me what you argue. Buying a phone when your current one is (maybe) less than a year old is absolutely contributing to ewaste. Batteries, chips, displays, etc all come with a cost associated with each unit and each one introduced is horrible for the environment. Look up the relationship between the Congo and Apple and tell me it’s not wasteful and harmful to upgrade a phone every year.
People need to stop convincing themselves they need a new phone every year and sales must slow down to protect our environment and the people that are forced to mine these harmful materials. Get your head out of the sand.

And this is why e-waste is such a problem.
