But although GEEP Canada was supposed to recycle the iPhones, it instead re-sold a few hundred thousand of them, earning some money. And now Apple is suing it for the same. “At least 11,766 pounds of Apple devices left GEEP’s premises without being destroyed - a fact that GEEP itself confirmed,” said a portion of Apple’s complaint, as reported by The Logic (via AppleInsider).

Based on Apple’s audit, it was found out that around 18% of those devices sent to GEEP were still accessing the internet through cellular networks, indicating that they weren’t recycled and were still functional.
