There’s a huge disconnect with what’s being said and the day to day actions.
Bringing disposable objects like this and AirPods into the world is environmentally abhorrent. Which you know I’m actually fine with for the trade off but just don’t lecture me about how much you care when I can see with my own eyes you don’t.
"Don't make it" is not a good answer. People buy it, so someone will make it.
And I'm happy that Apple educates their customers about the environmental impact.
That is what ultimately drives consumption-based pollution, so they are directly to blame.
Not with self indulgent high budget folly like ‘Mother Nature’
I never said don’t make the objects I actually said I’m fine with how abhorrent a 3 plastic battery coffins that are AirPods are for how good the experience is.
Just don’t make marketing material like ‘Mother Earth’ when you’re shipping those products.
A smartwatch that was supported for 8 years is pretty great. Who’s doing better?
But if competitors do better, that raises the bar for Apple and is a net benefit for customers. So yeah, Samsung, Google — here’s your opportunity to outshine Apple.
(Google’s already making noises about supporting newer Pixel phones for 8 years, and have committed to supporting some Chromebooks for 10 years. This is a good thing and I’d like to see more manufacturers get interested in offering longer periods of support.)
For now, I suspect Apple will say they’ll be recycle your watch so the materials are not “wasted”.
