The irony is that I have a bunch of lightning cables because I’ve been using an iPhone with AirPods for years. So when I finally upgrade, a bunch of my old cables will end up as e-waste.

or you could give them to someone who still uses an iPhone with a lightning connector. You could even sell them.

Hey, just like 30 pin cables.

If you think like this you could never chance a single thing. People coming from android will be able to use the same cables, people changing vice versa will also be able to use the same cables. People can use the old cables with old phones until they brake and they will brake sooner or later.

Well you buy apple products so you already had a bunch of e-waste

Is that any different from any other company that sells electronics, except perhaps Fairphone?
