> Environmentally impactful CPU when one 1/10 the speed would do

Apple's started to roll out green energy charging to devices: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108068

If I had to ballpark estimate this, your iPad probably uses less energy per year than a strand of incandescent holiday lights does in a week. Maybe somebody can work out that math.



The environmental concerns I have aren't really power consumption. Making all these CPUs takes a lot of resources.


How do you suggest they make new iPads for people who want them? Someone has to make new CPUs and if you can improve perf/W while you're doing so you might as well.


They could start by making it possible to use the iPads for something by opening up iPadOS


You didn't answer my question.
