They did that with Freddy Mercury at the London Olympics
Let me know how that works out for you....
Of course money is part of it.
If you hadn't noticed, Apple's a pretty big public corporation with lots of shareholders - likely you and me and anyone with mutual funds in our retirement accounts.
Apple's not your friend. They don't care about you. They care about providing profits to their shareholders.
So yes, any move like this, even where there's an environmental benefit they can tout in their marketing and brand image, will have a cost-impact component to it.
This is basic business 101 stuff. I don't know why folks act surprised or like it's some big conspiracy.

Man that was a snooze fest. Demand for that 5G iPhone is at an all time low. Be curious to see how many run out to buy one.
No AppleTV announced?

Oh that was it, just HomePod mini and iPhones.
Yep, what did you expect?
That was pretty.....bad. Well, maybe I will actually hold onto this XSMax for another year. Sad, I was looking forward to getting away from this Intel-infested slab.
Just not interested in the mini for $699. Was hoping for something updated from the SE with a lower price. Can you buy the SE and if it doesn't work in your building return it? Because our SEs (3 years old) lose battery switching from a cement building wifi calling on Verizon to LTE like nobody's business (80% to 10% in about 20 minutes).
Was planning on getting the 12 mini until it came out that it was going be released in November. Was all set on likely just going with a 128GB 12 non pro but the price difference between it and the equivalent Pro is only $100 so I think I will be pre-ordering a 12 Pro, just have to decide on which color.
Shame the house had no bedroom for the kids
Tim Cook spent most of that with his hands clasped together. Is he now a Buddhist or something?
The lack of TouchID is disappointing.
Did they talk about the battery life for the 12 and 12pro? Did they compare it to the 11 models?
What a letdown. Only company in the world that can get away with it... and they know it. That's why it's so unimpresive.
Poor showing.
My XS MAX is still going strong and think I’ll wait until 12s. Would like USB-C and Touch & FaceID.

My iPhone 4, 4s, and 5 all had issues within 15 months of being new. Its amazing you can keep it working that long
