    Cool.

    But like a broken clock that is right twice a day, Apple doing the right thing is only because there is money in it.

      Doing the right thing for the wrong reason still results in the right thing being done. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Sure, I’m all for this. Less body parts being sold is always a good move. I just think we need to keep in check why corporations SOMETIMES act ethically.

          In this case it’s obviously cheaper, also organic materials are probably harder to source and manufacture consistently

      As much as I hate Apple (and like beef and leather), I suspect a bit of work went into making it financially viable. Maybe they’ve worked their synthetic material to be as good and cost effective.

      But yeah, there’s the chance it’s all marketing and they’ve merely replaced the word “vinyl” with “vegan” and called it a day.

      Maybe they want to move manufacture to India where the cow is sacred. Who knows.
