1. A system for carbon optimized repair of a plurality of mobile devices, the system comprising a camera, at least one processor, and at least one non-transitory memory comprising instructions that, with the at least one processor, cause the system to:
electrically connect with a mobile device;
receive device data from the mobile device via the electronic connection, the device data comprising a device identifier;
capture images of the mobile device using the camera;
programmatically diagnose, using the at least one processor, at least one defect with the mobile device based on the device data and/or the images;
identify a plurality of solutions for the at least one defect;
apply the device identifier and information associated with the at least one defect to one or more models to generate lifecycle efficiency prediction data for the mobile device for the plurality of solutions for the at least one defect by applying predictive resource usage data for each solution for the at least one defect and device lifespan data associated with at least one subsequent use period of a plurality of use periods of the mobile device to the one or more models;
select a carbon minimized solution of the plurality of solutions based on the lifecycle efficiency predictions, wherein the carbon minimized solution comprises a carbon consumption per unit time less than any other of the plurality of solutions;
cause application of the carbon minimized solution to the mobile device to resolve the at least one defect by transmitting a signal configured to initiate replacement of at least one component of the mobile device with at least one replacement component;
electronically associate the mobile device with a user; and
cause one or more electronic signals configured to initiate transmission of the mobile device to the user.
