Apple does not care about the enviroment, amirite?

This is not unpopular. Apple, put chargers back in the box

I would be rather alarmed at people's stupidity if this was actually an unpopular opinion.

I would love to see the percent of users who change phones every year without their old phones being reused or recycled. I'd guess it's minuscule. It's one thing to waste resources and another just to set money on fire. I doubt a longer release cycle would change much here.

You can say that for any phone company. They all release every year.

yeah... apple is far from the only bad actor here. the entire cell phone industry is guilty of this.

Yes But Apple goes around saying they care about the environment. I don't see Xiaomi saying the same

by Ornery_Employment694 7 months ago

apple does make some effort in that area. sure, it's hardly enough to even offset the manufacturing, but it's better than nothing for a company of that size.

Thisnt an unpopular opinion lol

apple doesn't care about the environment, the slave labor being used to make it's products, it's consumers.... none of it.

If instead of realising a phone every year you would release every two years. You would have half the phones in circulation across 10 years.

Of course they don't. And neither do consumers. If we're being honest, and if we're really looking for who to blame for environmental destruction, all we need to do is find the nearest mirror.

sure, kind of. although blaming individuals for systemic problems is rarely useful.

Yes, but thats another discussion. People would go and buy another brand of phone. But at least you (Apple as a company) would not be responsible for those phones. I am not arguing about whose responsible for this either, my point is that the "We do care about the enviroment" from Apple is a marketing stunt from them.

If this is unpopular we're all wasting air

You don't need to buy a phone every year…..but if you need a phone, why not have the ability to get an updated phone?

When any kind of industrial company cares about the environment it is for PR's sake.

I hate apple but I have to say you're a bit wrong, the userbase is the ones at fault here, sometimes. Just watch roussman group on youtube

Lol sure. Could you point me to the reports that Apple is lying about this? Seems like a huge conspiracy if true.
