Recently, Apple released the environmental report card of the past two years.
The redesign completely eliminated the plastic film that covered the iPhone cassette, reducing the amount of plastic used by 600 tons; no longer including chargers, an estimated 550,000 tons of copper, tin and zinc ore have been saved.
Apple said that the change of "no longer with chargers" is indeed quite bold, reducing the exploitation of the earth's resources, which is worth it.
However, after Apple's environmental report card was published, the vast majority of netizens did not seem to buy it.
"Not selling mobile phones is not saving more ore", "If Apple no longer produces mobile phones, how much ore can it save?" "Buying an iPhone without sending a mobile phone but only a packaging box can use hundreds of millions of tons less ore and reduce carbon emissions by billions of tons."
From the above remarks and the number of likes received, it can be clearly seen that netizens are extremely disapproval of Apple's cancellation of the "charging head".
In 2020, at Apple's autumn new product conference, in addition to the release of the iPhone 12 series of new machines, Apple also announced a "major decision", that is, the decision to cancel the random gift of charging heads.
Apple believes that everyone already has too many charging heads, there is no need to re-attach new charging heads, the old can continue to use, so that not only can contribute to environmental protection, reduce carbon emissions, but also save minerals and other non-renewable resources.
The iPhone 12 series is Apple's first new machine that no longer comes with a charging head and headphones.
It is worth noting that after the announcement of Apple's decision to no longer give charging heads, an uproar has been caused in the global market, except for a very small number of countries like France, where the law clearly stipulates that smartphone manufacturers must be equipped with charging accessories as standard, the vast majority of countries or regions consumers do not understand Apple's cancellation of charging heads and the original motivation for making such a decision.
Many netizens believe that Apple's original intention of this move is not for environmental protection, but for profit.
Why? Apple does not come with a charging head, which means that many users who buy iPhone 12 series new machines must purchase additional charging heads after getting the mobile phone, and many people's first choice is naturally to buy on the Apple Mall, "the original is the best" is not just talk, but the supporting charging head products sold on the Apple Mall are generally more than 100 yuan, and they are not cheap.
In other words, Apple's cancellation of the random gift of charging heads not only reduces its own costs, but also makes a lot of money in the field of charging accessories.
This is also the reason why many people complain that Apple's cancellation of the random charging head is not environmentally friendly, but makes more money from the user's mobile phone.
In addition, after Apple canceled the charging head, it also directly spawned a large number of third-party accessory manufacturers, perhaps seeing the lucrative profits in the field of accessories, in addition to the original third-party accessories manufacturers, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also been involved in the field of accessories, not only to their own models, but also launched a lot of accessories suitable for iPhone models.
Apple is "environmentally friendly", saving 550,000 tons of precious ore, but if you count the charging heads sold by Apple's official mall and the charging heads sold by third-party accessories manufacturers, what is the result, it is likely that not only is there no environmental protection, but more precious ore is used and wasted than ever.
In 2021, at Apple's autumn new product conference, the iPhone 13 series not only continued the environmental protection measures on the iPhone 12 series, but also started the idea of packaging boxes, directly canceling the plastic seals on the boxes and using paper seals instead.
To tell the truth, for Apple to cancel the plastic seal on the packaging box, netizens and the majority of consumer feedback is not negative, after all, the packaging box of this thing, the frequency of use is not high, many are taken apart after the loss, the charging head of this thing can be different, it is a very frequent use of things, almost every day to use.
Therefore, everyone's slot point is mainly focused on Apple's cancellation of the charging head.
Up to now, Apple's environmental protection measures have been implemented for two years, and the charging head has also been cancelled for two years, how do you see it, welcome to leave a comment, we see in the comment area.
