Ok, new angle... how about this?

Apple caters to a attention-deprived, next-best seeking customer-base. Their products are designed to be disposable and they seem to be one of the few industry leaders that is moving away from environmental concerns. As far as I know, this is all they have for a safe disposal.

If you single out the lack of battery replacement on Apple products, you can say that this promotes a shorter usable life; what is going to happen to all the current iPads, iPods, MacBooks, and iPhones in five years?
