Siri gets chatty about Apple's recycling robot for Earth Day

In celebration of Earth Day, Apple's digital assistant Siri is opening up about Liam – the company's automated system for taking apart and reusing iPhones.

All it takes to learn more about Apple's recycling initiative is a voice command. A quick, "Hey Siri, tell me about Liam," yields one of several quips Siri has on the brain regarding the robo-recycler.

Siri then follows up with a link to Apple's Renew program, where old iPhones, iPads, and Macs are taken apart to be reborn, shiny and chrome.

The program has also proven to be a massive financial success for Apple, with Liam taking back tens of millions of dollars in reusable materials just this year alone.
