So how should a company that makes tech that people want while being as environmentally friendly as possible present itself? What other company is more environmentally conservative while making the tech that people want (for example Xiaomi, Huawei, etc) than Apple?

"Don't make it" is not a good answer. People buy it, so someone will make it.

And I'm happy that Apple educates their customers about the environmental impact.

"People buy it, so someone will make it" doesn't apply when they're at the size of Apple. They absolutely make things that no one else could make if they didn't.

Xiaomi, Huawei and Samsung certainly could, and probably more.

Apple creates the want in the first place or amplifies existing want.

That is what ultimately drives consumption-based pollution, so they are directly to blame.

I disagree completely. People wanted this for a long time, now it's available, that's it. People usually claim that Apple didn't invent anything new...

Not with self indulgent high budget folly like ‘Mother Nature’

I never said don’t make the objects I actually said I’m fine with how abhorrent a 3 plastic battery coffins that are AirPods are for how good the experience is.

Just don’t make marketing material like ‘Mother Earth’ when you’re shipping those products.
