Okwamanje asikayitholi imodeli entsha ye-iPhone X, singayibeka ngisho, kepha abafana baseCupertino sebenayo umbiko wezemvelo. Lokho abakumaka kule mibiko imininingwane ebaluleke njengezinto ezisetshenziselwe ukwenziwa kwazo, izinto ezivinjelwe noma ukusebenza kahle kwamandla komkhiqizo uqobo.
Umbiko obanzi okhishwe yi-Apple kuwebhusayithi yayo usikhombisa imininingwane ebalulekile noma ngabe impilo yayo iphela, kepha okuvelele kakhulu ngokwesibonelo i-carbon dioxide eyenziwe yi-iPhone X kuwo wonke umjikelezo wayo wempilo, cishe i-79kg ye-CO2e. Mncane umsebenzi owenziwa yiphini likamongameli we-Apple wezinhlelo zemvelo, uLisa Jackson, futhi lokhu kubonakala kuzo zonke izici ezihlobene nokuhlonipha imvelo.
Sesiyazi ukuthi i-Apple izoyisebenzisa kabusha i-iPhone noma eminye imikhiqizo yayo uma umsebenzisi eyinika yona, kepha lawa madivayisi ahlala iminyaka eminingi futhi kungenzeka ukuthi bambalwa abenza lesi senzo ekugcineni kwempilo yabo ewusizo, kungcono uzithengise noma udlulisele nelungu lomndeni noma umngane. Kepha ake sibone amaphuzu abalulekile wombiko ophelele ongawabona kugcwele kulesi sixhumanisi. Isikrini si ayinayo i-mercury, i-arsenic, ye-BFR, i-PVC ne-beryllium.
Kulokhu, ukuzibophezela kuka-Apple emvelweni kuyinto etholakala ngokuqhubekayo enkampanini yaseCupertino, kufanele ubone umsebenzi omuhle owenziwe ku-Apple Park esanda kuvulwa. Okubalulekile ukuthi zonke izinkampani zamanje zibhekele ukungcola, izinto zokwakha namanye amaphuzu ukuvikela iplanethi ngangokunokwenzeka ngaphandle kokuthinta ukukhiqizwa kwemikhiqizo yazo. Endabeni yale modeli entsha ye-iPhone, inkampani ithole isilinganiso esiphezulu kakhulu se-EPEAT segolide, okusho ukuthi lawa ma-iPhone Xs amasha aphakathi kwemingcele yezemvelo ngokusho kwe-UL 0. Empeleni wonke ama-iPhones anokulinganiselwa kwegolide ku-EPEAT.
