Apple Shrunk the iPhone’s Carbon Footprint. There’s a Way to Shrink It Even Further | Ensuring users can hang onto their phones as long as possible would help reduce the biggest source of emissions…::Ensuring users can hang onto their phones as long as possible would help reduce the biggest source of emissions: producing phones in the first place.
Force manufacturers to offer official replacement parts for 10 years with no profit margin, at least for common repairs like batteries, displays/glass, cameras etc. (basically everything except the logic board I guess).
Do the same for software updates and enforce compatibility (i.e. don’t lock out users of the new Apple Watch because they have on older iPhone for example).
Not going to happen because it’s “not feasible” to manufacture hardware for 10 year old devices or whatever.
