Abstract
Have you ever wondered what your phone is made of? How many different chemical elements do you need for this? How many working mineral deposits are needed in order to put everything together and make an efficient device? We try to answer these questions on an example of the popular iPhone 6 mobile phone. We consider the necessary things to produce the phone and ensure its proper operation, and also we try to estimate the number of mineral deposits for these purposes.
