#2Amazing to see what a bulky, massive piece of aluminium the structure is machined from (at https://youtu.be/luFGI13Mv8o?t=39, 39 seconds)

Lol zero surprises there. Apple loves wasteful design.
About as much environmental ethics as an oil amd gas company.

Generally recycling aluminium is incredibly cheap, especially if it's just a solid block without the regular potential contaminants, although I don't know what specific alloy they're using. If it's something like 6061 then it's especially easy to recycle, afaik, because it's very low in silicon and iron.
Do you know of any large tech companies that have more environmental ethics? I'm not sure Apple is good about it, but sadly I don't know of any better.

Well frame.work and Fairphone for starters. Milling blocks of aluminium like that even if the alu is recycled is still wasteful. It takes a massive amount of energy on both the milling(also consumables lost) and on the recycling.
A moulded alu part that required less milled off it would have been a good starter over using a full billet block.
It feels absurd their using billet alu on a device that definitely won't have a 10 year lifespan.

they love billet alu. also similar levels of machining on alu iphones, macbooks, ipads, etc.
