In 2016, somewhat reacting to criticisms about the difficulties of accessing the iPhone’s internal components for recycling purposes, the company introduced Liam. With its 29 arms, the robot was able to separate the components of an iPhone 6 in just 11 seconds. It was because, apparently, Liam was discontinued.
