You do what’s best for you. Apple won’t care.
Meh, Google is argurably worse when it comes to the SJW stuff since they're pretty much the internet censorship arm of the democratic party.

Charming dude, hopefully you live in a reinforced concrete bunker underground as well.

Good to know. Looking to hear more about this in the near future.
Waiting eagerly for Apples next big invention, the back pat robot!
That’s the dumbest thing now. Please stop complaining constantly, nobody cares about you reactionary opinion.
It's virtue signaling nonsense. Apple doesn't have access to that level of information.
This setting is for gullible Apple fans to feel good and pat themselves on the back for 'doing their part to save the environment.'
Were you one of the same people applauding Apple for "saving the environment" by not including chargers with iPhones?
"optimizing charging times for when the grid is using cleaner energy sources" - that sounds noble but when people can't charge their phone when it's low or empty, they're going to be very unhappy with Tim Apple. How will it even know that the source you're charging it with is renewable? What if you're using the Apple MagSafe battery pack to charge the phone? 🤔
Citation for above. I can’t prove that they have that type of acres and you can’t prove they don’t.
The apple aspersers are having a field day with this, I see.
Yes. It was a great move by apple. Save the environment and make more profit. Critics are going red in the face over this.
The above is plain (stupid)hyperbole.
Why dont you ask “Tim Apple”?
What about it?
It’s an option, you can enable or disable it any time.
It’s all politics: seen and be seen. If the world leaders physically attend, it’s relevant. Otherwise, not so much.
Besides, the part with the celebrities is just the show. There’s many thousands of people working behind the scenes on these summits, doing the actual work. They also travel around the world. But that’s just peanuts compared to the global emissions.
There’s an app for that. I came across it the other day. It supposedly tells you when electricity is cheaper and green.
Hey people-Tim here. We build these phones in China where they can dispose of the chemical byproducts anyway they see fit. In the rivers, in the air. But hey, you can now charge your phone cleanly and sleep well at night knowing you are doing your part to save our planet! Ciao.
While that's a generally fair critique, it's worth pointing out that Tim Apple preferred to fly commercial and did so almost exclusively until the board made it mandatory condition of his employment that he fly private for security reasons.
At least apple is trying to do something positive, unlike all the electric and power being wasted to criticize something that is a small step in the positive direction.
Exactly, the amount of nonsense spewed here, not held back by any lack of knowledge on the subject, is just sad. If all one does is point at a bigger issue as excuse to not take action elsewhere, nothing is ever going to change.
What a lot of people still refuse to face: we're in a climate crisis and every step helps. And nobody said this is the endpoint for Apple. It might very well be the start of a new platform or feature that will prevent a very substantial amount of carbon emissions in the future, for instance with CarPlay or Apple Car.

I’ll bet you recycle and reuse, though. And if you do , you’ve earned the right to be smug and signal your virtue like a peacock.
Remember that in the 70s the narrative about the climate crisis was talking about a glaciation, not rising temperature.
Follow the money not the words..
Furthermore, they predict rising water levels around the world. 100 feet of water (30 meters) would be enough to wipe out South America, England, Australia and many other places.
Now if they really thought that was the case, do you think banks would you lend money to investors to buy whole buildings on the beach front in Florida?
There are no clauses about it in the contracts with the banks.
Again.. follow the money.
Apple is just playing its part in a rigged game. This is the foundation for climate lockdowns or things as such.
I am trying my best to minimise plastic and waste in general but enough is enough at some stage.

If I follow the money it leads to big oil. They know since the sixties climate change caused by their products would one day threaten our planet. So they did everything to minimise it. You’re still a product of that old school.
Also, there was never any mainstream research in the 70’s proclaiming a mini ice age. The overwhelming evidence and consensus on climate change today cannot be denied. You’re stuck in 2002.
