 This is a company that:
 1. Entered a category where products traditionally lasted decades
 2. Built a $17,000 product that was obsolete within a few years
 3. Produced a self-congratulatory marketing video starring an Oscar winner about how environmentally friendly they are. https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/2/23900158/apple-watch-edition-gold-2015-obsolete-unsupported-beyonce

From the company that brought you $700 wheels and the worst repair policies and design.
They are such a facade, and in typical fashion, the apple stans at arstechnica couldn't care less. 
 @59665e9e I find it absolutely deplorable that they probably spent millions creating this facade about how environmentally responsible they are while simultaneously dedicating additional resources to ensuring that they are, in reality, not. Shameful.
