I agree that they could reduce consumption and make life easier by consolidating connectors and not screwing around with those already established. However, in my experience whatever I buy from Apple tends to last longer and I definitely don't throw any of it out until it's completely unusable. In the cases where their product isn't more durable (e.g. certain MagSafe connectors) people tend to baby them because of the cost to replace. In over 15 years of buying Apple products, the only products I've discarded were a pair of earbuds that were stepped on and torn and a MagSafe charger which caught fire (early MacBook Pro). I think in some sense it's Apple customers customers who keep them "green" just by holding on to their stuff as long as possible.
