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. 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.

So what? Greenpeace targeted Apple because they're a high-profile target. Don't believe everything you hear just because it comes from a group that claims to care about the environment. http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/10/16/greenpeace_vs_apple/ The PVC in the iPhone is in the freakin' headphones, and the 1.5% by weight was the weight of the headphones! 1.5% of a few grams is hardly the environmental catastrophe GP wants you to think it is. As for the video: Nokia has all their mobile PVC free. (Does that statement include the headset?) iPhone is PVC free as well, except for the included headphones. "Both removed SOME OF their worst chemicals..." So they haven't removed ALL of them? Shame on SonyEriccson and Motorola! I'm sure Greenpeace will get right on making videos to shame them, just as soon as they're done cooking up new things to hype about Apple. Umm…. So what? Greenpeace targeted Apple because they’re a high-profile target.
