  • flash132222 says:

    hey you could start a phone company called Andza that’s kind of catchy

  • AQHackAQ says:

    you don’t find rhodium inside phones asstard

  • supernovasky says:

    no one said I was talking about phones I was talking about in general…

  • AQHackAQ says:

    yeah and in the video she said the most precious metal was gold INSIDE THE PHONE. She didn’t say gold is the most precious metal of all.

  • supernovasky says:

    ok so she was talking about inside the phone.. i was talking about in general… your point…

  • TheGrimsReaper says:

    lol wtf lady… she says that theres gold and platinum in phones, but that gold is more valuable, last I checked, platinum is about $100 more than gold per troy ounce.

  • Sect0id says:

    Probably meant the amount of gold in the phone is worth more than the platinum it contains.

  • neato3000 says:

    Yeah pretty much, what was the value in 2007 though (when the vid was uploaded)? I remember before the new millennium, platinum was pretty low wasn’t it?

  • Hexpigge says:

    there are many metals in each phone. But just few mg :)

  • madzikud02 says:

    gold is now at a all time high higher than platinum but when she did this video it wasnt so yh the lady is a douche

  • DeeHong says:

    Yeah platinum maybe more valuable by the Troy ounce. However, She probably means that there’s more GOLD in the phone than Platinum,

  • DaManzMoney says:

    Well I think she’s means cause there’s more of it to get out of per phone so there’s more money in gold because there’s more of it

  • Urschleim says:

    Platinum is currently still about 25% more valuable than gold.

  • INSULTEVERY1 says:

  • garagecrap says:

    That’s why they want you to recycle stuff. For profit, not for the environment. Didn’t you get it yet?

  • KeeperOfTheGood says:

    :O what if the phone was turned in as used by a person with a multi-drug resistant strain of Hep-A? Gets torn down, made into 10 new re-built phones… would you want to give that re-built to your darling child on their 12th birthday?

  • greekmytholigy says:
