We all know the fact that air, water and soil pollution is literally killing our environment, and the biggest so called “Nature Friendly Industries” are playing a huge role in that. These industries not only pollute water and air with their discarded chemicals, but they also pollute soil at the same time, as most of their disposed off materials become the part of junk yards.
Besides just these industries, “We – The People” also play a massive role in destroying our environment especially our soil, as we do not hesitate to dump our eWaste in junk yards which normally ends up in landfills, hence destroying huge acres of land making it completely unproductive.
We might not have much power to stop Air and Water pollution, but it is surely in our reach to protect the environment by minimizing soil pollution to the masses. Following are the 3 best practices via which we can clean our environment and get benefited at the same time:
Reusing Electronics
Consumer electronics are known to be the most complicated products among the rest, and this is mainly because a single piece of electronic item is equipped with hundreds of different types of materials and components. Therefore when you dump away an electronic item, you are literally wasting hundreds of different types of precious earth metals and leaving them at the mercy of junk yard owners. Reusing electronics or even upgrading them is surely the best thing that you can do in order to save the environment.
Giveaway
Things which might be worthless for you may worth more than Gold for someone else! There are a good number of charitable institutions and Welfare Trusts that are always in need of your support. They will accept anything that you give to them especially your used electronics.
Recycling
Most of the times you cannot reuse your old electronic items due to their age or cannot give them away due to the fact that they are redundant. At this point, you only think to throw away these electronic items, as they are of no use to you, hence these items normally end up in landfills.
What most people really don’t know is that they can recycle these electronic items again simply by giving it away to the recycling companies like Scheibye Trading.
When you give your old, overstock, redundant or even scrap electronics to Scheibye Trading, you will not only be making some good cash in its exchange but you will also be taking a huge step to protect your environment from further landfills.
One of the best things about Scheibye Trading is that they accept all such items from all over the world. So no matter who you are, and wherever you live, you can recycle your electronic goods with this recycling company and make some good cash in its exchange.
This Title / Question is hilarious in itself, as no one wants to crack his phone screen or destroy it, however the answer to this question is important in a sense that by knowing the methods of cracking or breaking a phone screen you can actually avoid them, especially when you have an iPhone 5S, Samsung Galaxy S4 or Note 3 along your side.
Here are some of the ways to crack a phone screen:
Sit on your phone
You can surely crack your phone screen simply by sitting on it. Smartphone screens are delicate in nature and even a normal pressure at the right spot is more than enough to crack its screen.
Throw it away
If the above method is not able to get the job done for you then this is surely going to get it right. By simply throwing your phone a few meters away you can surely crack or break your Smartphone screen, especially when it is on the floor. Throw it on the road, floor or from anywhere, this is going to get the job done right.
Keep on dropping it
First few phone drops might not be that effective, but if you continue to do that then this is surely going to crack your phone screen. Just drop it on the floor, on concrete, from your bed, from your dinner table etc and you will surely be able to crack or even break your phone screen.
The main reason for explaining the methods of cracking a phone screen is to tell you to avoid these things at all cost, as they might not only crack or damage your phone screen, but they might also damage other parts of your phone too. So avoid doing all that if you are willing to keep your phone in a long run, as replacing a cracked LCD screen alone costs you a fortune! But if you still managed to do so, then you can sell that cracked or damaged LCD screen to recycling companies, as they almost always pay good prices for broken phone screens (only if you have them in bulk).

Apple v/s Samsung – Apple Gets Set to Beat Samsung Market in China
China is known to be one of the biggest cellular markets that are under Samsung’s influence. Samsung had provided the products to the Chinese consumers that not only fits their budget but also allow them to enjoy good quality smart phones, but it seems that Apple is all set to beat Samsung market in China.
Chinese have always been moved towards low priced phones, and in order to come up with that iPhone needs to bring in low priced phones if it really wants to grab the market and beat Samsung. Chinese have been known to love iPhone but most of them are not going with it due to price.
In order to bring cheaper phones, Apple have to use cheaper LCD screens and they might also need to reduce their profit margins per piece in order to grab the market, but in one of the recent interviews of Tim Cook (CEO of Apple Inc.) denied all that by saying “It is not in Apple’s Religion to produce low quality phones.”. We all know how much expensive iPhone is, and these high quality (Expensive) phones are not going to do well in Chinese market, especially when they have to compete against Samsung, the current industry giant.
Steps Taken By China to Increase Its Odds
Tim Cook is surely working real hard to increase Apple’s Odd in China and for that they are in-talks with China Mobile, which is known to be the biggest carrier in China with around 740 Million Subscribers. However nothing is final now or at least none has been disclosed so far. But the fact is, even if Apple cuts out some deal with China Mobile, they still won’t be able to beat Samsung, but at least they would be in a better position as of now. The only thing that they can do in order to beat Samsung is to introduce cheaper phones, but that’s not going to happen as per Tim Cook.
Reasons For These Steps
These steps are mainly taken because recently Apple lost good market shares in China, and this deal is surely the Apple’s need in order to strengthen their position in this market, so that they won’t be driven out of the market completely.
Currently Apple is in Partnership with China Telecom and China Unicom, and this might be the only reason why they have their current shares in Chinese market.
Current Status of Samsung and iPhone in China
Samsung has recently shipped more than 72.4 Million Smart phones while Apple has only shipped a little more than 31 Million. One of the reasons is that Samsung is introducing cheaper but good quality smart phones, they are even using cheaper LCD screens in their Smart phones in order to gather the market, and they are found to be quite successful in all that!
5 Reasons Why Apple Will Not Lower Down The Price of Their Products
Whether it is an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac or anything else, one thing that is common among these products is that they are quite expensive and are not in everyone’s reach. Each and everyone believe that if Apple Inc. would lower down its product’s prices they will surely be ruling the entire techno market, as one of the biggest reasons why a whole lot of people are not able to buy Apple’s product is its price.
In one of the recent interviews of Tim Crook (CEO of Apple Inc.) clearly mentioned that, Apple is not going to launch any substandard / low quality (Cheaper iPhone) as they cannot compromise on the quality of their product in any way. In the following lines you will get to know 5 reasons why Apple will not lower down the price of their product:
Quality Maintenance
If Apple Inc. would have introduced a cheaper phone or other products, they would not have been able to maintain the quality of their products, hence affecting their entire range of products, hence affecting their company name in negative way, hence giving way to its competitors to grasp the entire market.
Elite Class Products
Apple claims that it is a consumer oriented company, however the fact is, there products only target elite class. Anyone who is willing to make the most out from the Apple products needs to pay as per its demand.
Maintaining Stability
Cheaper Apple products literally means that people from every class would buy its product, as it would be affordable, hence the company will not be able to maintain the stability, hence it might spiral in the dark hole, hence losing customers as well as the quality of their products. Hence in order to maintain the stability in the market, they are sticking with their prices for now.
Already Making Money
Company is already making billions every year, hence they do not need to launch any lower priced product.
Customer Support
Apple Inc. has always focused on their customer support program, and if they launch a lower priced product than they won’t be able to provide effective customer support to their users. Apple would surely be able to x10 their overall sales, but they won’t be able to maintain the type of customer support they are having right now.
Whether it is any Apple product, accessory or spare part, you won’t be able to get them at a lower cost, so even if you face the issue of iPhone broken LCD screen, you need to pay good cash for that in order to replace it. But do you know you can also sell your iPhone broken LCD screen to cellular phone recyclers at a good price to make some extra cash?
Getting positive and better reviews than Samsung in Samsung’s own home is surely an achievement for Apple, especially when Apple’s iPhone is criticized and marked as “second Best Smartphone” as compared to Samsung in rest of the world!
Survey Report
Number of Reported Issues
In Korea, there are 17% people who are having issues with their iPhone, while on the other hand the number is much greater when it comes to Samsung, as about 31% people are having problems with their Android based Samsung phones.
Problems Found in iPhone and Samsung Smart Phones
The main reported issues with iPhone were touch or button malfunction, while Samsung was having battery charging and screen quality issues.
Market Share of iPhone in Korea
The statistics shows that there is a good enough market for iPhone in Korea, but the overall smart phone market share for foreign manufacturers isn’t that good, as Samsung alone is controlling 65% of the market share of Korean industry, while two other Korean based companies LG and Pan tech are almost at 15%. Rest of the foreign Smart phone companies including Nokia, HTC, Blackberry etc are only controlling mere of 1% of this market; however iPhone is currently controlling 19%. So it’s surely not that easy for iPhone or any other foreign smart phone manufacturer to take any major share in Korean Industry.
How iPhone Can Maximize Its Market Share in Korean Market?
In order to increase its market share in Korean Industry, Apple should look forward towards making affordable iPhone with lower configuration, but Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc. said that Apple will never be going towards developing substandard products, as it is not their way of work, which literally means that you won’t find any iPhone accessory, parts or even LCD screens at lower rates, as they would maintain their quality as well as price standards in this industry. Hence whenever you break your iPhone LCD screen you will have to pay a whole lot more in order to get it fixed.
