Applesenvironmental reportsbreak down the energy costs of its devices over their lifetimes.
Take the M1 MacBook Air, for example.
Only 19% of its total emissions come from using it.
The iPhone 13 is similar overall, but with more energy used in production and less for transport.
This means that the longer you use a machine, the less carbon impact it will have.
But even then, you should think about how you deal with the old devices.
This is easy, and means you could pass the machine on without worrying about your personal data.
Its a case where doing nothing really is the best option.
