@stroughtonsmith My guess is that Apple dumped leather mainly due to the amount of CO2 that cattle produce… Apple would have had to count a % of that in their stats and this would have made it harder for them to hit their carbon neutral targets.
I think this is all smoke and mirrors as this FineWoven junk will not be better for the environment due to the amount of extra waste it will produce from people needing to buy replacement cases as their FineWoven cases degrade rapidly.
