Sorry for speculations (anyone wishing to share the statistics/data?), but i strongly suspect, most phones are discarded after they are physically damaged (think: broken screen), stop receiving support or due to the perceived need for more storage (for selfies and cat videos).

I don't believe "worn out flash chips" is a massive problem. First time i see it being mentioned, actually. 🙄
