Source? Apple is 100% green in some areas and they have good EPA ratings.

I like that your source is from Apple. Is that a joke?

Took me 5 seconds on first Google page to confirm what is common sense:

"Apple's horrid repair policies are forcing shops to destroy stacks of MacBook Pros"

> I like that your source is from Apple.

Did you read the claims made in it and check whether they're false?

There are primary sources in those links.

> Apple's horrid repair policies are forcing shops to destroy stacks of MacBook Pros

"None of that affects me negatively" — As you said about Google's privacy intrusions.

Bad analogy.

Destroying MacBooks that could be repaired is detrimental to the environment.

Manufacturing a new laptop uses rare metals, petrol, all sorts of chemicals, tons of water and generates pollution.

Take a look at the links.

Apple has done a lot of good for users and has amazing products, and they have yet to annoy me as much as Microsoft did and Google do, so I will continue to be a user and a developer for their platforms.
