Apple played into the greenwashing since a long time. For example removing charger for “climate”, “ecology”, while changing the cable port from a usb A (the rectangle one you plug onto the charger) to a usb C when first removing the charger from the box (thanks for bringing this s* to android too).
You did not understand.
USB A is the rectangle one you plug onto the charger. They changed it ot USB C when they first removed the chargers from the box.

Do you know what USB A is?
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?
Moving to usb c is because of EU regulations
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.
They’re claiming apple was 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.
