If I had to ballpark estimate this, your iPad probably uses less energy per year than a strand of incandescent holiday lights does in a week. Maybe somebody can work out that math.
- mort96 2y agoThe environmental concerns I have aren't really power consumption. Making all these CPUs takes a lot of resources.
- pertymcpert 2y agoHow do you suggest they make new iPads for people who want them? Someone has to make new CPUs and if you can improve perf/W while you're doing so you might as well.
- mort96 2y agoThey could start by making it possible to use the iPads for something by opening up iPadOS
