Take two hundred million iphones (less than they sold last year alone) and you're looking at 3.4 billion watt hours. Multiply that my maybe 900 full charge cycles per year and you're looking at a trillion watt hours just from the phones sold last year. Sooner or later it's going to add up to serious juice.

"Stop talking about yourself". I'm just curious if someone is happy about an accomplishment they just had/made and they have to not mention it because why? Like "I got a promotion at work today!" to their friends? Or "I bought a house finally!". Are you saying people should not share their victories in life because of "one uppers"? Personally I'm happy to share joy with people, and happy to hear their happiness!. But can't if they never share their happiness. Your post seem to say folks should just shut up about anything they are proud of. That's not the same as a one upper at all.

Ignore them. They're just looking for attention, and they're jealous that you're getting some.

Before we went no contact with my in-laws, I used to enjoy telling them, "Well, that's nice, but right now it's (insert name's) time to shine," in a school-teacher-talking-to-bratty-toddlers tone of voice, and then immediately turn away from them. This only works in public, and it'll earn you hell once they get you alone, but its worth it to watch them react to being treated like a spoiled child.
