You should actually compare the actions of Apple compared to other companies before stating that their stance is bullshit. I don't think this holds up to scrutiny. It looks to me that they actually do a lot for the cause of environmentalism.

Also, have you never had an old car where the repairs start to cost more than the car is worth? Sometimes you do need to replace things.

Repairs on a Volvo 240 may cost more than the car is worth but the total annual cost is many times less than replacing the car. And it's more reliable than modern >$40k cars.

Ikea also practices fake environmentalism by using non-standard parts in their light fixtures while not providing replacement parts.
