Really too naked, Apple recently released an environmental report card, one of which is that Apple's mobile phone does not send a charger has saved 550,000 tons of ore, and concludes that this thing is worth doing.
Oh, some netizens said ah, this is like saying, you spend 5,000 yuan to buy my mobile phone, and then I call it environmental protection and do not produce mobile phones, so I saved 5 million tons of plastic, 50 million tons of carbon and 20 million tons of ore for the earth. Come and praise me, environmentalist good man.
What is the concept of 550,000 tons of ore? To quote a netizen's conversion, saving a 1-meter-long USB cable represents saving about 3.5 kilograms of copper ore, there is a concept.
In fact, if you are really for the sake of environmental protection, you can completely change the data line of Apple's lightning interface to a type-c port, which is now the Android mobile phone port. If all mobile phone data cables can be universal, users do not need to prepare two different data cables, which is really for environmental protection considerations.
Some people may say that Apple's lightning interface is better, which is actually a rip-off. A random search can find relevant popular science articles. type-c is better at data transmission, supported charging speeds, and so on.
The reasons why Apple insisted on using the lightning interface are also well known. Those who have used the fruit machine should have seen such a situation, and after inserting the data cable, they prompt: "This accessory may not be supported." This is because the charging cable has not been certified by Apple's MFi, how can the data cable manufacturer obtain MFi certification? Believe me without further ado.
Apple does not send chargers, and users without chargers need to buy extra. This increases charger sales, and manufacturers who want to produce Apple data cables need to obtain Apple certification. You say what I should say. In March this year, the Daily Mail published that Apple has made an extra $5 billion by cutting off chargers and headphones, and it has only been a year and a half now. Convert to more than 30 billion yuan, to make a comparison, Huawei's net profit in 2020 is 64.6 billion.
Therefore, the final conclusion is that Apple said that in order to protect the environment, it does not send a charger, and immediately obtained more MFi certification income, and the more users spend money to buy chargers, the more money Apple has. In the end, Apple concluded that I canceled the charger, saved 550,000 tons of ore, and made a very big contribution to environmental protection, which is worth it. Fruit powder: Good stick, good stick.
