Apple calls itself an environmental leader while fighting repairability (self.apple)

Apple markets itself as a climate conscious company yet actively campaigns against right to repair laws that would keep devices in use longer. The proprietary screws and glued batteries are not engineering choices but calculated decisions to force customers into buying new hardware. Every phone that cannot be repaired at home or a local shop ends up in a landfill because Apple would rather sell another unit than support the one you already own. Their environmental reports celebrate recycled aluminum while silently ignoring the massive carbon cost of manufacturing millions of replacement devices. Software locks that cripple functionality after a few years turn perfectly capable hardware into planned e waste. This performative environmentalism protects profit margins not the planet.

Why does Apple get praised for environmental PR while actively preventing the repair work that would actually reduce electronic waste?
