So they’re not planting Apple Trees?

[@qgshadow]

Except all the e-waste they create every year by making it almost impossible to repair anything.

[@JayceeR]

yeah that's the main problem..

[@benricok]

Apple must first fix their anti Right to repair attitude before proceeding with carbon neutral matters.

No they don't, this is far more important than you wanting to save some money.

Becoming carbon neutral by not providing chargers in the box ; charge extra 20$ and it comes with an extra packaging (eventually producing more waste) ? "But everyone already has chargers !" Yea, but not the ones apple provides cables for. Only people who own iphone 11 or later has that charger. Apple's policies just sucks.

[@devonFrankTown89]

Hey I got an android phone and they did the same thing no charger. They have to start process somewhere besides chargers are cheap anyways

[@khushalgupta9766]

@@devonFrankTown89 What about the extra packaging received? Extra plastic and paper? And just before iPhone 11s you were getting chargers for free ?

[@chickenhater]

No power adaptor is just plain stupid when the cable they give doesn't fit the previous version of adaptors that people have been using. This means that the customer still HAS to buy the adaptor and it means another box and another cost to the customer. Apple wants to portray itself as "environmental" yet it goes in the opposite direction.

[@justlisten82]

Sorry but this is just great marketing from Apple because they understand they don't have a choice in the long run. They could be doing less, but they could also be doing much much more.

[@liamcowling9906]

All these companies can. I think it's a mistake to see this as a win when it's the bare minimum they have to do.

[@erdemgunduz3527]

In the lasr part you told us not to complain about the adapter-less boxes. But won't you need a new adapter for every phone upgrade? We'll have to buy adapters from 3rd party companies, which many is far from being carbon neutral. Even if the adapters were totally same, even by the emissons, shipping a seperate package for adapters uses more space than being in the phone box. (I saw this on youtubr. It was probably from the channels whoistheboss or Apple Explained.)

[@JayceeR]

if i have multiple phones, whether it's android or apple, i honestly would just use the same adapter and cable for all of my phones, i just buy a new adapter if it breaks then the cables that are included in every boxes will just be the back-ups when the first cable broke or cut in half. it can also save you money and electricity by not charging all of them at the same time.

[@RDdggrd]

@@JayceeR this practice of using adapter from different companies are not good for the phone's battery and circuit.

[@JayceeR]

@@RDdggrd i didn't say i use a 'not apple certified' adapters.. i use original, that's why i only use one (original) adapter for multiple devices to save money ('cause you know it's expensive especially in my country) and buy a new (original) adapter once the first (original) adapter i use got broken. same with the (original) cable, i only use the same one for all of my devices and the other (original) cables that was included in the apple box will be a spare when the first one got cut or snap in half

[@RDdggrd]

@@JayceeR that's nice. I just mentioned it cos u said u wud use the same adapter for both andrd and apple dvces.

[@JayceeR]

@@RDdggrd no, i meant if i am an android user, i would do the same thing (using only one adapter and cable on every thing i own that still uses micro-usb (android phone, wireless speaker, power bank, etc))

[@please5520]

Yes, we save our environment by getting *much needed* accessories in 10 different boxes than 1 great job ,both

[@hpeg506]

Way I see it is its just lip service, they are against right to repair and are making me go out and buy a separate usb-c charging port for my wall because usb-a was too much to ask I guess... I wonder if that extra buying step still equates to less foot print or not. On top of that there phones themselves are not usb-c ports which means I can't use any none apple phones charger possibly increasing my "footprint" yet again if i go between multiple places

[@andre.ado1f]

Great Video ;)

[@ryanvacation7319]

All of Apple's modern laptops have their SSD soldered in. SSDs are usually the first thing that wears out in a computer. In most other brands you can just replace them but not with Apple laptops. This makes their laptops disposable and end up faster in a landfill. This "we care for the environment" stance is pure marketing.

Are you sure Apple did not sponsor this video?

[@AnshSingh-ph4ll]

Not including the charger doesn't mean that the need of charger is not their. If we order a brand new charger the plastic required in packing that charger will be way more than including charger in the box. Lifetime of charger is way less than the device so customer will technically mostly end up buying a third party charger which will result in more plastic and cardboard waste in the environment.

[@delup2008]

If BIG tech companies want to reduce their c02 emissions they should resign from scheduled aging. And also create new model a bit rarer. New iPhone every 3 years instead one year l

[@cuius1552]

Why do you think that? That’s actually super dumb

[@delup2008]

@@cuius1552 Oh really? Maybe could you tell something more why do you think so?

[@cuius1552]

@@delup2008 a question back to you? What would actually change if apple would only release an iPhone every third year? People would still buy as many iPhones as today or probably just switch to android and apple would go out of business.

[@superbooper6213]

It takes more plastic to package an adapter separately than to simply include it with the phone. Thus I will continue to complain.

[@user-xf4nn3lk2d]

not everyone buys new adaptor

[@youcefdz5598]

but if you upgrade your phone every year or two , it would be more friendly for the environment if you bought a single 3rd party charger that can last you for years

[@alvarocastroleite]

What about right to repair?

Not charging power unit inside box effort is taken down by the fact that we still have Stickers and manuals in the box.. So WTF happened there..

Not everything, but the are going on the way.

[@midnightsnack1306]

This is nonsense . Almost all of Apple's devices are hard to repair. In fact, if you bring a out of warranty Apple device to be fixed in an Apple store, repair is extremely expensive and they ask you to buy the new model instead. This encourages people to simply throw out their Apple products which ends up in landfills. Not buying what Apple's selling.
