One more point is that iPads and iPhones all have high resale and reuse values and used phones and tablets tend to get resold and/or passed down to other family members. A given phone may go through two or three or even four owners before it hits the recycling center.

If I were you I’d vent my ire on the inexpensive plastic Android phones that people buy and that are used once and then immediately tossed into the trash.
