Apple's carbon-neutral product claims called a 'climate-wash' (appleinsider.com)

Apple played into the greenwashing since a long time. For example removing charger for "climate", "ecology", while changing the cable port from a usb A (the rectangle one you plug onto the charger) to a usb C when first removing the charger from the box (thanks for bringing this s* to android too).

They're claiming apple was greenwashing when they removed the charger. It removed cost and waste, it can be both green and good business.

I thought they were arguing that the move to usb c was also greenwashing, when it was the EU regulations, again to reduce waste. It is green, not greenwashing.
