Once again, tech giant Apple has released a much-hyped iOS update, version 26.1, touting incremental improvements to security and performance. However, this release fails to address the systemic issues plaguing our digital lives and society as a whole.
While Apple claims to champion privacy, they continue to hoard wealth and evade taxes, depriving governments of crucial resources needed to tackle pressing social and environmental challenges. The company's relentless pursuit of profits comes at the expense of workers' rights, as evidenced by the ongoing exploitation and poor working conditions in their global supply chain.
Moreover, Apple's planned obsolescence strategy perpetuates a throwaway culture, contributing to the mounting e-waste crisis that disproportionately affects marginalized communities. By pressuring users to constantly upgrade their devices, Apple fuels consumerism and exacerbates the digital divide, leaving low-income individuals behind.
Instead of focusing on superficial features, Apple should prioritize true innovation that benefits society and the planet. This includes investing in renewable energy, supporting fair labor practices, and collaborating with governments to address the root causes of inequality.
As consumers, we must demand more from tech giants like Apple. It's time to hold them accountable for their role in perpetuating systemic injustices and demand real progress, not just glossy updates. By collectively advocating for change, we can push Apple and other corporations to prioritize people and the planet over profits.
