I don't know what was more cringe worthy: The fact that Apple has bought into the climate apocalypse, or the blatant tokenism evident in the crew of actors. 

People who still want leather, like me, are just going to buy non-Apple accessories. It's a stupid move that will sacrifice sales on the altar of virtue signaling. 

It's like their lightning and USB-C cables that are made out of recycled butterfly wings but only last a couple of years before they break.

You know this because every iPhone Apple has made is the best iPhone they've ever made?

It's a joke mocking the fact that they literally say this every time they reveal a new phone.

No good deed goes unpunished. The “throttling” was not nefarious, but a good faith effort to protect consumers from overheating phones. In other words what tort attorneys call a business opportunity. 

The throttling wasn't done to prevent overheating. It was done to prevent "unexpected shutdown" which is a case where the phone's battery display shows a relatively high state-of-charge like 20-30%, yet the phone shuts off immediately after a heavy load is applied such as CPU, GPU, camera, etc. 

Users should have been given the ability to opt into this behavior, but Apple, always trying to keep things simple, made the behavior automatic for all users.
