   They gave Apple over a decade to make that decision, but Apple failed to   
   do so, so the EU had to make it for them.

   Except there will always be fools who think that by paying more they   
   must be getting something better, when that doesn't necessarily follow.

   No, the EU gave Apple more than 10 years to adapt their production,   
   Apple, not the EU, created the e-waste by not complying with the   
   guidelines in a timely manner.
