Comment on Apple's carbon-neutral product claims called a 'climate-wash'

Are you stupid? I’m talking of the first time they removed the charger.

IPhone 12 - 2020.

Here they are talking about devices having USB C for 2024.

Yes, the article is not about that…

They removed the charger to save cost and waste. Who really needed another wall wart?

  You're both talking past each other.
  
  First, they had thunderbolt to USB A cables and a USB A charger.
  
  Then they had thunderbolt to USB C cables and a USB C charger.
  
  Then they were forced by the EU to swap out the thunderbolt connector with USB C on the device itself.

    He’s claiming apple is greenwashing when they removed the charger. It removed cost and waste, it can be both green and good business.
    
    I thought they were arguing that the move to usb c was also greenwashing, when it was the EU regulations, again to reduce waste. It is green, not greenwashing.
