    FYI:

    Greenpeace pressured apple to stop using PVC in their plastics around 2007

    Apple realised they could gain PR while making more money by having customers needing to rebuy new cables.

        And give up the opportunity to get applause for planned obedience? That is not how you capitalism.

        Its quite telling that ever since apple got forced to use usb-c the quality of their cables made a huge leap. It’s almost like the availability of competing cables is good for innovation or something.
