Why did EU expose Apple like that?
>>108943703Apple cant bribe the EU as easily as it does the US government
Because it's beneficial for people to know the energy efficiency of the devices they want to buy and it incentivizes companies like Apple to optimize their devices.
This is what happens when you have a government that isn't fully bought and paid for by megacorps.
Europeans seem to care more than Americans about not being wasteful of resources.
>>108943889That's because they're poor.
an A in one year can be a G just a year later when they change the standards, this shit is meaningless
>>108943703it's insane that iphone in the jewsa cannot run a non-webkit browser.
>>108943703Do other tablets score any better? They probably don't.
>>108943899The house I'm posting from and own outright costs 2.1 million USD. You were saying?
>>108943940It's supposed to compare similar products, so one would hope the scores are relative to other tablets but the phrasing is a little too vague to be effective for highly specific products
>>108943703I've never seen a single device of any kind get even a C rating, let alone an A or B.Looking into how the system works, it's complete bullshit. Here's a chart explaining how it works for LED lamps.
>Apple's iPhone 15 and newer models are exempt from the EU's requirement for user-replaceable batteries because they retain 80% of their capacity after 1,000 charge cycles. This means that while most phones will need to comply with the new regulations by February 2027, Apple can maintain its sealed battery design.
>>108943962>I've never seen a single device of any kind get even a C rating, let alone an A or B.Amerikun has never been in a Mediamarkt. How sad.
>>108943962you were not looking very hard then
Putting energy ratings on small battery powered devices is utterly ertarded.A single EU move from Brussels to Strassburg consumes more energy than all iPads in the world combined have produces over their lifetimes.And they do this twice a year.
>>108943992>anon references the tablets in OP and lightbulbs>posts fridge
>>108944036>I've never seen a single device of any kind get even a C rating, let alone an A or B.Who even considers LEDs devices?
>>108944036>I've never seen a single device of any kind get even a C rating, the stipulation was “device”, which is a nebulous termin reality, something like a TV or Tablet will never get anything above maybe a D or C due to the amount of wasted energy by displays and internal components.
>>108943946>the property with the shanty i inherited from my great grandparents who paid 20 bucks and a handjob for is worth lots of money now
>>108944036>never seen a single device>device
>>108943992...refrigerators are incredibly efficient because they aren't running the compressor all day
>>108944121I had already posted a follow up to this: >>108944075please learn to read the thread in full before replying.
>>108944075According to the official EU list there's some A-rated TVshttps://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/electronicdisplaysThough at least some of them are definitely just flat out lying about their specs. Like there's a 16" display that's listed here as 40" which got an A rating on that basis.
>>108944138some of them aren’t even googlable lol, not real products
>>108943962took one search you lazy fuckand it's not some absolute dogshit or scam either (probably)
>>108943703I don’t care how much power my phone uses. I don’t care how much power anything uses. I pay my power bill every month regardless.
>>108944209Osram is a real brand
>>108943703apple isn't an eu company, the eu can be honest about them
>>108943962the highest rating should be exceptional. personally i haven't heard of led lights past 200lm/w, but i haven't looked into it in years.if "A" was just "ok", then that wouldn't be very useful, there needs to be room for improvement
>>108944240>>108943962also the descriptions are missing the point, the ratings being evaluated only care about efficiency, nothing else. if current products have to sacrifice things like colour spectrum rendition to achieve a better power efficiency, that's out of scope. this isn't a "good product" scale, it's an energy efficiency scale.i don't live in the EU btw, i'm not biased
>>108944221ThisMost devices cost almost nothing to run. AC, Electric Heat, Electric Water Heater make up the majority of your power bill. Followed by Electric Dryer, Dishwasher Heated Dry, and Electric oven but those are used less frequently. Lights, and electronics etc dont have a big effect on the bill. For example, I have an LED light that I leave on all the time in my kitchen. At the higher summer electric rates, it costs $9 a year to leave it on 24/7, so I do. Phones and tablets basically dont move the needle at all
>>108943703Don't worry, Tim Crook will go crying to Trump and then Trump will threaten 3787576347547% tariffs unless Apple gets A++++++.
>>108943847Kek.EU only care about one think: make look-believe that their retarded politicians and administrators are useful.Instead of, say, normalize battery for drills and other small portable appliances, they do this retarded thing.And I say retarded because there is no downside of being last for a company.Apple don't care about consumption, so does users that only look for status symbol.>>108944261This.And I'm French, therefore, unfortunately, had to comply with EU nonsense (hopefully not for long...)
>>108944581>make look-believe that their retarded politicians and administrators are useful.Then why are american corpos constantly seething about the GDPR?
>>108944581>hopefully not for longSi seulement... :(
>>108943918You're supposed to compare between current-year ratings, like you do when you're choosing which thing to buy right now.
>>108944036american education everyone
>>108944209they're cool but i think the color's kinda weird on themand somehow you can look straight into them without eye pain
>>108943703I wish they had these labels for cars too, imagine the scores on American V8 tanks.
>>108943962Oh ok so it's not about being efficient at doing what the customer wants, it's about telling the customer to eat shit and change his behavior.Well here in America incandescent lamps are legal again so I just use those.
The joke is that the EU rates the most efficient processors on the planet as inefficient because Tim Apple sent Mr Hitler a golden bidetMaybe the labels would mean something if they had principles
>>108943940This was my first thought. I don't wanna fellate apple, but compared to every other tablet i've used they've always felt wildly power efficient.
>>108943703Anti-semitism.
>>108943703iTODDLERS BTFO
>>108945030Except you can't do anything with them other than Facebook/Youtube.
is home appliance possibly effiency rating be rigged in favor of big white machines
>>108943703The fuck does energy rating on a tablet even mean and what's the range of devices they group together to compare? Just tablets? Phones and laptops too? Maybe all personal computing devices? But then even a modern TV is basically a big tablet, especially Android TV OS ones.
>>108945259>a modern TV is basically a big tablet, especially Android TV OS onesYou’re genuinely a mouth breathing retard
>>108944261>this isn't a "good product" scale, it's an energy efficiency scaleAnd when every product that I see has a D rating at best, I stop giving a shit about the rating. Would I buy an A instead if it was an option available? Maybe.But in reality I'm choosing at the store between a D and a G which in my mind seem both rather shit so I don't care about the difference and the system has failed. It has made me care less about energy efficiency than it could.
>>108944961can your incandescent bulb output 1500+ lm for 8 hours each day for 5 years without needing to re-wire your whole house? I highly doubt it.
>>108943962This kind of stinks of vodka and adult diapers.
