The new Apple Renew program is an expanded recycling program for your old Apple devices, but where exactly do all the iPhones components go? Apple said its robot, Liam, can take apart more than 1.2 million iPhones in a year, extracting different components to be re-used or recycled. Liam can "rescue" cobalt and lithium from iPhone batteries, separate gold and copper from the camera and extract silver and platinum from the main logic board, according to Apple.
