> produce hardware as sustainable as possible Thy don't. It's not just that they wouldn't try to sell you a new device every year but they also would either provide or allow sustainable repairs. Apple mainly replaces whole components, like the whole motherboard. But many of the damages which causes a motherboard repair with Apple can be fixed by "just" replacing some broken capacitors or some simple chip (simple as in not the GPU/CPU/RAM). Which might sound hard but is very doable/learnable e.g. look at some of Louis Rossmanns videos. There are also frequently problems with Macs one the line of "if this fails this other thinks will fail too and you have to buy a new laptop instead of just living without xxx". I think all their efforts about sustainable production are PR and trying to avoid/preclude regulations.
