For most manufacturers I agree, but Apple has the capability to disassemble and refurbish their devices in an automated fashion and incentivizes users to trade in their old equipment with discounts on new products. There is a lot less that gets sent to landfill as a result.
- genmud 6y agoI would love to hear sources on that, I doubt that apple refurbs their 2-3 year old laptops and sells them to customers. Maybe they are doing this for iPhone lines, but I doubt they are doing it for their MBP/iPad stuff. TBH, refurb stuff in my mind is basically remanufactured. When most devices go through that process at a manufacturer, many times they will get the guts pulled out and have replacement cosmetics redone. I have never seen anything but the current gen stuff or N-1 laptops for sale on their refurb store, so call that into question.
