I agree. Greenpeace simply chose the biggest shiniest target they could find, the iPhone. The move was entirely politically motivated and simply a way to gain more publicity for Greenpeace. Nothing more.

People get sick with cancer every day. Who knows what causes it? I for one am glad there are groups out there that act as watchdogs. Otherwise it would be profit over safety every time.

I'm sure they included them because they are already made (and is the easiest way to make them now). There are bad things in water, why should you drink it? Because it won't kill you (and will help you in this case). If the things in the iPhone were really that bad, they would be banned from use. (They are not new "toxins", we've been using computer chips for quite a while now...) I'll quote Eurisko because I really agree with what he said:
