iPhone battery warranty, replacement information

I would like to know what Apple means with "...an environmentally-friendly manner." And I would like to know how Green is the iPhone itself. I mean, what there is inside? I can't find anything in the apple specs about PVC, BFRs or other chemicals. Nothing about energy efficiency or take back policy. It looks Greenpeace is investigating:

The battery is soldered in, so no user replacement (unless you can solder, of course). This makes it doubtful that there will in-store replacement of the battery. Also, access to the battery looks to be a bit (a lot) more complicated than on the iPod.

It's been five whole days since the iPhone went on sale, and there is still no "dirty secret" FUD-site. I'm shocked!

Greenpeace is all about getting excited, not about the environment. Media whores, little else.

The rumor on the forums is, for a small fee, they'll give you a loaner iPhone while they're fixing yours. SIM card swap, and you're golden.

But if I were you, I'd go ahead and follow all of their recommendations for protecting the life of your battery. Or, I guess you could treat it like crap, and ensure you get the battery replaced before your applecare is up...but that'd be a gamble.

Eh, that's why I keep my previous phone as a backup...

I'm sorry, but 3 days without your cell phone? Utterly ridiculous. Apple will have to change this policy to an in-store service or they are going to have some very pissed off iPhone customers.

Yeah, that's the link I lost. But here's another one I found.
