1. If it is really for the sake of environmental protection, mobile phones that can be reused through official channels after repair should obviously be recycled, but Apple allows them to be used as second-hand products. The market is even discarded. Where is the environmental protection promised? If you have a good memory, you should also know about the iPhone 12 series’ charging head reduction incident the year before last. If you have a better memory, you will also find that in the past few years, Apple's data cables made of so-called environmentally friendly recycled materials were particularly easy to damage

and consumers would often choose to throw them away and buy another one. The official number of more than 100 threads will not be mentioned for now. Do you think this is environmentally friendly?

Consumers are not stupid, and their minds will always turn around. The concept of environmental protection is just a strategic weapon for Apple. Just like the environmental protection girl is to Europe, it has always been just a fig leaf for this company to earn more profits.

I like many of Apple's products, and I admire its industry-leading R&D capabilities. I even use the Apple Family Bucket, and I often brag about Apple's after-sales service.

?

2. But this does not prevent me from facing up to the shortcomings of Apple. It is always a commercial company. Earning the little money we have is its top priority. On its way to implement the so-called "environmental protection", Apple has done a lot of things that harm the interests of consumers. This is what should be severely criticized

.

Only when enough consumers come forward to point out that what Apple is doing is unfair, and Apple starts to worry about its own reputation, will it really be willing to change this free recycling?

plan.

All models support free recycling. No one can say that they are so benevolent. I can only say that Apple is indeed very proud of its reputation for discounts and environmental protection. In fact, I want to get the components in everyone's hands for free, not to mention trading old ones for new ones, but at least second-hand trade-offs

It's okay to express the old ones. Cook is really calculating. I believe that no fool is willing to be ripped off in this wave. Yes. The advantage of adding a disposal fee to the selling price is that compared to new buyers, second-hand buyers are undoubtedly more price-sensitive. If they bear the disposal fee, there will undoubtedly be an increase in secret disposals. A proportion of the waste, or even the vast majority, is hidden and discarded, which causes more serious pollution and makes it more difficult to control. ?

3. Everyone is the same, and they are also price-sensitive people. If one can call for free door-to-door recycling and disposal and need to pay a fee of even ten yuan, the proportion of unified recycling and disposal by phone will increase significantly, which will be more environmentally friendly. Rules cannot be based on everyone being a saint, but methods can be used to make ordinary people more willing to do good. In that case, I also support free recycling. Anyone who wants to recycle, please send me a private message and I will send you my address. You can mail it to me and I will help you

"Free recycling", of course the shipping cost is yours If you pay, I will recycle it for you for free. It is reasonable for you to pay the shipping fee.

The so-called hypocritical environmental protection is nothing more than this

At that time, the charger was not provided, and the data cable was replaced with a CtoL data cable that was not compatible with the previous chargers, thus scrapping the user's old charger. . Then

let the so-called non-environmental protection be transferred to the downstream charger manufacturers, and then continue to obtain the profits of the charging head manufacturers through the MFI agreement.

I am environmentally friendly, but only It’s up to you to protect the environment.

Now users are allowed to return unused/broken AirPods, and they can continue to use the still valid components/precious metals through recycling, but

this is a discount that users can get There are no volumes.

You earn the money, you earn the good reputation, and the costs and fees that need to be borne are minimal for Apple.

But users get nothing.

4. Regarding AirPods, I think this is a matter of your own choice.

Why does Apple recycle it for free? Because Apple does not think this is something that can be reused, you will find that those that can be deducted will appear in the official refurbished device types, but AirPods are obviously not among the officially refurbished devices. .

So for Apple, this is a pure cost, so Apple’s choice of free recycling also increases costs.

Instead of recycling, refurbishing and then selling, refurbishing and then selling is obviously the operation of other second-hand merchants.

Therefore, if most people are not particularly worried about trouble, they can still consider not recycling Apple and find a place to sell it themselves. Obviously, the profit will be higher

.

Now that we know Apple’s logic, we can just make our own choice.

It is suggested that Apple can award the title of environmental pioneer to second-hand platforms such as Xyu, Xipai, and Zhuhuan, and by the way, you can go to Huaqiangbei to donate.

Some apples need to be "environmentally friendly" equipment.

Don’t make excuses about data security. If you still have privacy after restoring AirPods to factory settings, it’s because of Apple’s data security.

It’s bad, and it’s not a reason to recycle it for free at all. .

However, this wave of "environmental protection" by Apple is indeed not an open grab. After all, it is voluntary and understandable. The clear grab still depends on the SAO operation of "cancel the charger" of the iPhone.

5. There are too many 5V1A charging heads for iPhones around the world, so the charging heads that you paid for are canceled. Then, a CtoL charging cable will be given as a gift. In order to be more "environmentally friendly", Apple can also put on the shelves an original 20W fast charging head for 149 yuan. You must know that the same charging head from Xiaomi next door only costs less than 40 yuan.

The most annoying act of kidnapping consumers in the name of environmental protection comes from a cuttlefish who just "environmentally protected" AirPod 2, which is more "environmentally friendly" than Apple's environmental protection method

Apple’s detent pin costs 26 yuan, Apple’s polishing cloth costs 145 yuan, and Apple’s lanyard costs 98 yuan. Why is it so shameless that it will last forever?

Free recycling of headphones in the name of environmental protection is a good initiative. If consumers don’t let you recycle them, carbon will continue to be emitted

and pollute the environment. If there is a quality problem, Apple will carry out a recall. What the questioner mentioned is obviously not in the recall plan. If it is, go through the after-sales recall process

There are two types of Apple recycling, the first is the annual renewal plan, and the other is called the Trade In exchange plan.

6. This is actually a type of recycling, but the recycling price is higher than the Trade In exchange plan below. The last time I used the annual renewal plan to trade in the 12 Pro Max, I probably paid a little more than Trade In. This is what everyone understands as second-hand recycling in the traditional sense, but it is different because Apple will not give you money, but will use it as a deduction when you buy a new device.

But Apple doesn’t collect everything. What it may be able to sell for money is other devices, and for other devices, Apple does

recycling and processing. Don’t think that Apple is free. It costs money to do environmentally friendly and harmless treatment.

Not all other devices are collected. Apple’s press conference said it supports AirPods recycling, which refers to this type of free recycling.
