So you’re suggesting Apple switch to, say, a 3 year update cycle for the iPhone, and then everyone replace their iPhones on the same cycle?
And if, for some reason, you have to upgrade off-cycle - say, your phone breaks after two and a half years - you end up buying a replacement that’s … 2.5 years oit of date.
How about, instead, Apple refreshes the iPhone ever year or so, and people only buy a new one when their phone breaks, or falls so far behind there’s some specific reason to replace it. (My iPhone 8 is holding up pretty well.)
Upgrading your phone every year is stupid and wasteful. But insisting that nobody else should be able to get a phone with the latest tech unless they stay in sync with the arbitrarily-chosen 3 (or 2 or 5 or whatever) year officially-approved upgrade cycle, is just as stupid. Just because they come out with new phones every year doesn't mean you have buy every new phone.
Apple is building a few hundred thousand phones a day, every day. In the grand scheme of things, switching out one design foe the next isn’t particularly wasteful (people keep complaining that “nothing’s changed” from one model to the next). The way to be less wasteful is for people to replace their phones less often. And Apple does an impressive job of supporting phones quite a few years.
None or what you assert as a “pretty obvious truth” is relevant to the question you purport to be answering. Yes, people replacing their phones less often is better. Updating the design yearly doesn’t force everyone to buy a new phone. Switching to a plan where they only upgrade the design every 2 or 3 years just means that if your phone breaks or wears out or is lost, then you can only get one that is a year or two older technology than happens now.
So after installing this beta, I lost the ability to swipe between app folder "pages". I can still do it if I press on the dots, but not the normal way. Super strange)
Very true, very funny.
Would like to add that this could be a test for implementing this on EV's in the future, or even more power hungry Macs in the future. Apple tests many features on devices that they don't intend on implementing it as a core feature.
Yep, even small things are impactful multiplied out and its a better way to test such a thing than with a low power device.
If they did this with a high power device and messed up the programming somehow just spitballing here.. can you imagine the hailstorm headlines that Apples software bug 'caused stress at peak power sensitivity times that could result in blackouts'?
Seems to me its a very good idea to test out in a small way first... like they are doing.
I'm talking about small steps that improve environmental impact. Nothing is solved overnight. The right direction IS more sustainable practices. Yes stopping production of every non-essential good would be great for the environment, but that just isn't realistic. So yeah, any small change towards environmental friendlyness IS in the right direction. It's not that hard of a concept... If you are going to go all climate change denier on me or something else, I don't want to hear it.
The second quote you have was not me.
Ultimately, people should keep things until they actually stop working or need to be updated instead of getting the new shiny thing every year when they don't need it. That would be environmentally friendly as it would be a reduction in total phones produced over a fixed period of time. We just don't live in a world where people care enough to do that, and in a capitalist system the companies are going to keep doing this unless people stop buying. I agree on principle, it's just that we shouldn't get upset with small steps when that's still better than no steps. Progress is still progress. But yeah, reduced manufacturing would have a much bigger impact. But we just live in a world where we can't make drastic changes like that unless something forces it to happen. It's unfortunate, but it's the way it is.
Fair point. People upgrading when they don't need to is more the root of the issue. But companies, like apple also push really hard to sell as many as possible because profit. But you are right, the new model every year thing doesn't have to mean more phones overall than a two or 3 year cycle could, but there is also some environmental cost that goes into designing something new as well.
Why not? Every year there are people who have iPhones that are old enough they need to be replaced.
Apple has a program where you send your phone to them. They give you a credit towards a new one and they recycle it or refurbish the one you sent in.
So it’s not a waste so who cares if someone wants to buy a new phone every year. It’s their money and their business. The old phone isn’t going to waste. Myself, I’m too frugal to do that. But people need to mind their own business.

I solved this problem a few year ago when I installed solar panels. I recharge all my devices during the day when the panels are generating more energy than I use.
If what you do doesn’t solve the entire problem, then don’t do anything?
Selling your phone doesn't offset the carbon footprint of its production and transportation to you.
If that worked, the solution to global warming would be 'sell your stuff when you are done with it'. 😆
Yes, but electricity that was made by more eco-friendly way.
I was trying to say that it is better from ecological perspective to sell devices you no longer use so someone else can use them. So no two new devices are made but only one. (2 - 1 for you and one for someone else. Only 1 for you).
Apple Has Increased Use of Cargo Ships and Private Jets to Minimize Shipping Delays Amid Pandemic

Look at this eco fascism based on this climate change alarmism. Hey only one phone for you your time limit is not up yet for your next one!!!
They had to rebrand it as climate change because global warming lost its punch. Before that we had the ozone hole, acid rain, dolphins in tuna, and yes a worry about global COOLING.
If you look closely it’s not about climate it’s about control. Climate is the excuse for the elites to gain that control and get rich. The WEF keeps saying you’ll own nothing and be happy and you’ll eat bugs. All in the name of climate. You can guarantee Schwab and Gates will still have their mansions and be eating steak.

I have 47 solar panels with a peak of 15.24kWh generating power.
Doesn't get much cleaner than that.
I typically sell 1/4 to 1/3 of that back to the power company on sunny days.
No storage batteries yet. Still way too much $$$ right now.
