iphone is not a green apple1 min read

Scientific tests, arranged by Greenpeace, reveal that Apple’s iPhone contains hazardous chemicals. The tests uncovered two types of hazardous substances, some of which have already been eliminated by other mobile phone makers.

a battery that can’t be replaced, locked to one network, a crippled wifi, no 3G, apple prosecuting people who “hack” the iphone, and now this?

after jobs open letter proclaiming he will make apple greener, it turns out that the iPhone is not up to very basic ecological standards.

yet everyone and their dog will run out and buy an iPhone, just watch… not me tho, not me.

Missed call: the iPhone’s hazardous chemicals – When will promises of a greener Apple bear fruit?

  1. luv mac stuff, even have a dotmac account for my email. but i’m not going to buy an iPhone, even though I desperately want one.

    I posted on Apple’s support pages, “I’m going to be mean until iPhone is green”. Basically putting a link to the Greenpeace test and asking what users thought. I was very disappointed when Apple deleted my post.

    It does feel like a greenwash.
