The companies are part of the same planet. They get away with green washing. They have to be responsible for the damage they do but exploiting low cost labour in developing countries and pushing a new IPhone/android and non repairable toasters very year which end up in landfill.

Without out projects to revive old phones, which have to struggle to reverse engineer qualcomm modems, we would have so much more stuff in landfill. I use 10 yr old phones and they are just as fast as back then and get the job done.

The only reason to upgrade is to push their "addictive" app store as that is the major way of making money
