NgoMgqibelo odlule i- Usuku Lomhlaba. Sithatha isikhathi, intatheli UJohn Gruber uxoxisane noLisa Jackson kwiPodcast yakhe eyaziwa kahle. Ku "Talk Show" wabo bakhulume ngezinkinga ezahlukahlukene zemvelo: imiphumela yomhlaba yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu futhi ikakhulukazi maqondana nemizamo ye-Apple yokugcina imvelo. Kuze kube manje, umzamo wenkampani ugxile ekukhiqizeni ugesi oluhlaza. Ezinsukwini zokugcina, kugxilwe ezinhlelweni zokugcinwa kwezimayini lapho bakhipha khona izinto zokucaciswa kwemishini yabo.
Lezi zibalo zilinganiswa ezinyaweni zekhabhoni ezishiywe ngumkhiqizi. UJackson ufake isandla ekutheni i-Apple carbon footprint ngo-2016 ibingamathani ayizigidi ezingama-29,5, uma sibala zombili ezokumbiwa phansi, ukuthuthwa komkhiqizo, nokupakishwa nogesi odingekayo ekwenzeni umkhiqizo.
Ngokusho kukaLisa Jackson, isu lika-Apple lokwehlisa leli nani alihlukile. Umkhiqizi ngamunye unendlela yokukhiqiza ngakho-ke kufanele afunde uhlelo oluthile nomhlinzeki ngamunye. Uhlelo olujwayelekile ngeke lusebenze ngo-100%. Abahlinzeki abathathu abasha bajoyine uhlelo lwe-100% lwamandla ahlanzekile ngonyaka odlule. Njengamanje isebenza nabaphakeli abayi-7 ukuguqula i-100% yezinqubo zayo zokukhiqiza ngamandla aluhlaza.
Esontweni eledlule, i-Apple igubhe uSuku Lomhlaba ngemicimbi eyahlukahlukene: ukunikela ngengxenye yemali etholakalayo emvelweni ngokusebenzisa izinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo. Iphinde yenza umsebenzi wokuqwashisa amakhasimende ayo ukuze bakwazi ukuzivocavoca phesheya futhi bazoklonyeliswa ngemiyalezo ekhethekile kuhlelo lokusebenza lwe-iMessage.
Ebamba isikhathi, kuleli sonto wethule esakhe Umbiko Wokuzibophezela Kwezemvelo 2017. Amandla kube ukunakekelwa kwezimayini nezakhi zokwakha ngezinto ezenziwe kabusha.
