Some foolish people will apparently believe anything you tell them without
question.

What this bullshit article from some hack "journalist" at NZ Herald News
got completely wrong is that the stated number of years is actually how
long Apple expects the *first* owner to keep using a device, and *not* the
entire life of the device. The article's author clearly didn't bother to do
the slightest bit of research and is regurgitating a bullshit headline
instead. He's lazy, spreading misinformation, and should go back to school.

From the source document at Apple (which the shit "journalist" conveniently
didn't even bother to link) regarding Apple's environmental policies:

"Years of use, which are based on first owners, are assumed to be four
years for OS X and tvOS devices and three years for iOS and watchOS
devices."

<http://www.apple.com/environment/answers/>

Anyone with even just an average IQ knows that Apple devices last much
longer. In fact they often are sold or passed on to other people who will
continue using them. 

For instance my iPhone 3GS and a couple iPhone 4s are still in daily use
within the family. Every single Mac I've ever owned (a slew of models of
various years) has been either sold or given to people who continue to use
them for years later. And the ones I didn’t get rid of are all still in
working condition, even if seldom used - including a few Mac SE and Mac
Plus models from the 1980s. 

The limiting factor is usually that they can’t run the newest versions of
the operating system, so there comes a point when although they still work,
they are not as useful nor as fast as newer models.

So no, this isn't about planned obsolescence or anything of the sort.
