About the diesel: it's mentioned indirectly in the post. Of course there are going to be co2 emissions caused by the products. The factor, even the workers are causing co2. Some of it is unavoidable and they recognize this. Still a lot can be saved. What can't be saved by Apple('s partners) will be saved by avoiding to burn oil, wood, etc in poorer countries, offsetting the co2. This is how many companies already call their products co2 neutral (by offsets) right now. By contrast: other companies (Stripe) invest in co2 capture, but this is wildly less efficient than offsets.
