Short product lifespans substantially increase the per-unit footprint of smartphones when impacts are amortised over time.
“In the smartphone market, the prevailing trend of short lifespans, driven by rapid technological obsolescence, perceived obsolescence and limited repairability (Welfens et al. 2016;Proske and Jaeger-Erben 2019), substantially increases the per-unit footprint when impacts are amortised over time.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
