Apples devices are in the field longer than most OEMs, especially mobile devices you realize? They don’t just trash it when you trade it, they resell as used.

- multimoon 2y agoWhat does that have to do with it? They’ll sell whatever stock they have - most people end up ordering upgraded models so the field split is skewed. You’re reaching acting like Apple is purposefully creating environmental damage when they do by far more than any other OEM on this planet to minimize their impact. They should be praised for doing anything at all in the face of no competition motivation, not judged for “you can do more!!! >:(“.
- goosedragons 2y agoThey absolutely haven't. It's laughable to suggest they've done the most when they've started trends like gluing down batteries, riveting keyboards, etc. Using slightly more recycled parts in the chassis and removing power adapters from the box does not make up for making devices less repairable.

I agree their devices last "long" but if they were upgradable they would last much longer.
