Not too many people knows tht cows… the principal providers of leather… are one of the most polluting animals…

Cows expel huge amounts of metane… thru farts… one hugh climate pollutant.

So, I assume you don't eat beef or use leather products or take any supplements that are derived from bovine resources?
Well good for you.

Actually it's mostly burps being ruminants and all.

I may change my mind when I see these in person but right now not a fan of the texture or colors.

Bring back leather.

I'm with you on this.

Amazing how they have swapped an organic, biodegradable material, with a synthetic plastic and it now better for the environment. Must be all those cow farts.

Yes, and all the land, water and other resources that raising the cows take.

Probably as big a hit to resources and carbon footprint as a couple of burgers...
BTW...do these cases / bands recycle or compost?

I guess it will be nice to have all Macs, iPads, and iPhones using the "same" connector, though. 

The cables will all have the same connector, but will they all have the cable spec you need?

You know what's "eco-friendly"?  Not making a phone case obsolete every year because of small changes to iPhones.
I have an original SE that I keep around. The case on it was on my 5S prior, and on my girlfriends 5 before that.  So, this silicone case has been in use for about 10 years.
When I bought a 12 mini, the fact that the case for it would not transfer to a 13 mini was part of the reason I still have the 12 mini...

If the illegal images have been encrypted, Apple won't be able to determine that they're illegal.  That's why some folks want them to scan an individual's phone, before they're encrypted.  
I'll go with the 4th and say show me the search warrant.  Otherwise, bug off.
