Apple’s Mother Nature segment from the iPhone 15 event made me think about the AirPods problem and Apple sticking with Lightning for so long.
Yes, the Apple Watch is a carbon-neutral device right now, which is amazing. Apple is using plenty of clean energy to power its headquarters and stores, and it has switched to shipping goods via ocean rather than air. Not only that, but Apple is planting forests, not trees. And leather is gone from its accessory lineups for iPhone 15 and new Apple Watches.
But Spencer’s Mother Nature conveniently forgot to address a few issues with Apple products that can lead directly to, you know, harming Mother Nature., and the biggest problem I have with the product is that it can’t be repaired. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to repair it myself. But I would pay Apple the battery replacement fee required to replace the batteries every couple of years. Instead, Apple simply gives you new earbuds for that price.
Or you can take a discount and get a brand new pair. Apple’s AirPods design isn’t sustainable, and Apple isn’t doing anything about it. At least, not yet. It has until 2030 to fix this issue. But by then, I might need to get three additional pairs of AirPods without really recycling the old ones. That’s right, there isn’t a great recycling product for the AirPods or a way to trade in old models for a discount.
To be fair, nobody else in the industry has better designs for their AirPods rivals. Not that I know of. And since almost every smartphone user out there owns at least a pair of wireless earphones, this is a problem that Mother Nature should address.
