The average iPhone uses more energy than a midsize refrigerator, says a new paper by Mark Mills, CEO of Digital Power Group, a tech investment advisory. A midsize refrigerator that qualifies for the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star rating uses about 322 kW-h a year, while your iPhone uses about 361 kW-h if you stack up wireless connections, data usage, and battery charging.

361 kW-h/year.
The iPhone has a 2400 mAh 3.7 V battery ~ 9 Wh per charge. How do we get to 361 kWh?
If we add in the tower usage, charger losses (50%), etc, I still don't see how we get to 361 kWh/year.
