iPhones consume more energy per year than a medium-sized refrigerator.
I thought this news story was interesting but this may have an impact if resources become challenged by supply and demand.

http://www.ibtimes.com/apple-iphone-use ... ch-1388911A new report examining the electricity that powers the global digital ecosystem shows that an Apple iPhone uses more energy in a year than a refrigerator.
According to Mark Mills, CEO of the Digital Power Group and author of the report titled “The Cloud Begins With Coal,” an average iPhone uses about 361 kilowatt-hours each year after factoring wireless connections, data usage and battery charging. A medium-sized refrigerator with an Energy Star rating only uses about 322 KWh a year.
