Climate change is a big deal. Electronic waste pollution is a big deal. Apple breaking labor laws is a big deal.

Those are all fair points, and I agree with you on each of them! But they have to do with buying new things in general, not the new iPhone specifically.
If you eat meat, drive a car, fly in planes, live in a big house, have kids, etc., buy all the iPhones you want. It’s not going to make a lick of difference when it comes to climate change.
Unless you can personally sink several supertankers, you really can't do anything about climate change.
