While iPhone 4S came in second behind Citrus, the inexpensive LG Remarq and Samsung Captivate were able to beat out the iPhone 5.
However, all iPhone models were behind the Motorola Citrus-a device Motorola specifically markets as an eco-friendly option. The iPhone 4S was able to outrank the iPhone 5 indicating Apple was not able to significantly reduce hazardous chemicals in the new device. For instance, the iPhone 2G lands itself at the bottom of the list with a “high concern”-not far from Nokia’s N95. The findings show Apple is making good in its commitment to greatly reduce harmful chemicals in its products, with the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 ranking significantly better than previous generations. In the image above, we see a breakdown on which components of the iPhone 5 have the highest concentration of those chemicals. Each device was ranked from 0 to 5 (with 0 being best) based on a number of common hazardous materials including lead, bromine, and mercury. Together, with, our friends at iFixit have just completed a chemical analysis of 36 smartphones, including the iPhone 5 and previous generations of the device.
