We’ve made it easier for you to lower the carbon footprint of your iPhone, even while you’re charging it. Mac mini with M2 Pro has a nearly 50% reduction in carbon footprint compared with the previous generation, largely because of the efficiency of Apple silicon. 14 And the transition to Apple silicon in Mac computers continues to make impressive leaps in energy efficiency. In 2022, all eligible Apple devices received an ENERGY STAR® rating for superior energy efficiency. Designing products that require less energy is one of the major ways we can lower their carbon impact, even as they’re being used. It also has a direct impact on the carbon footprint of every Apple user.

Product energy use makes up almost a quarter of our total carbon footprint.
