Does anyone know what Apple does to prevent or reduce unnecessary e-waste?

Does Apple facilitate the use of unused but still functional equipment?

Sorry if you’ve had “one of those days.” 😕

On a positive note, I successfully migrated all of our family’s compatible hardware to 26 today and all’s DEF well !!! 🎉🎉🎉

Having read the linked blog post, I agree.

For legal advice — which is what this request involves — talk to a lawyer.
