Back in 2018, Apple introduced “Daisy” – a new robot capable of disassembling iPhones to recycle device parts. Now, thanks to YouTuber Sara Dietschy, we can finally get a closer look at every step Daisy takes to carefully disassemble an iPhone.
Dietschy was invited to visit one of Apple’s facilities in Texas where the company recycles its devices. The Daisy robot was developed specifically to disassemble iPhones, and Apple had previously said that the machine is capable of disassembling up to 200 iPhones per hour. A single Daisy robot can recycle up to 1.2 million iPhones per year.
