Yeah… In 2019, the world wasted more than 59.1 million tons of electronics. That's the equivalent of around 350 large cruise ships that are completely filled with e-waste. Most of it used to be due to slow and/or bloated software, but more of it is now batteries. There’s also a bit of just poor manufacturing/design where a device was never good, and therefore as soon as its owner could get better he/she did get better.
Edit: and let’s not forget the deprecation of older standards like 2G and 3G cell networks, or the rise of USB-C.
