BasicAppleGuyIf you're left with piles of Lightning cables after tomorrow, consider donating those you don't need to a nearby shelter - they're a hotly sought-after item for people there. 🔌
Rich Aesthetic@BasicAppleGuy I thought the EU was trying to reduce ewaste, I don't think forcing companies to use the same port changes that problem. Instead they should not allow companies to give cables and phone cases in the box for free. I mean, seriously. I'm still using the same lightning cable to charge my iPhone 14 Pro Max as I did charge my 11 Pro Max... It's in great condition, obviously a bit dirty but not frayed or kinked in anyway. meanwhile I have the iPhone 12, 13, and 14 cable in my cable box
Morgan Peyre@richaesthetic @BasicAppleGuy looks like you've fallen for Apple's marketing bullshit. The environmental impact of a charging cable is minimal. Buying a brand new phone every year however...
@peyremorgan ... lol Buying a new phone every year in my household means both my partner and I are technically upgrading every 2 years as we only buy 1 and the other gets the “old one”. Anyways, the amount of people doing so is minimal, and whereas I buy a new phone every year, I don't have many shoes, house trinkets, clothes, leather goods, etc. Everyone creates a footprint a different way, I'm not worried about mine in comparison to others. Thank you for such an intelligent comment.
