I also wondered this, the VW emissions scandal seems entirely counter to the purported views on environmental responsibility by Apple. However, Apple is not an environmental company. Apple is a product company. In products, Apple's goal is to build the best of whatever they're building, in the world. Finding a manufacturing partner willing to help Apple accomplish data privacy and customer relationship differentiation is more important to the product goal than a manufacturing partner free of environmental scandal baggage. Other considerations: VW the company has and will continue to be brought to justice and pay the price for its fraud. Apple vehicles likely will never run on fossil fuels, even in VW vehicles. Other car manufacturers likely have their own historical scandals that run counter to Apple values.
