Not only does California have the harshest emissions standards, the strictest gun laws as far as I know, but they also apparently have the strictest standards for products containing potentially dangerous chemicals. Basically that means that Apple is in some deep do-do with the state of California.
Apparently there is too high a level of some plasticizers known as phthalates in the iPhone. So basically Apple has 2 choices, recall all ... continued »

Apple commercial mockery
Remember those new iPhone ads I showed you not too long ago? Well sure enough, if it’s a decent Apple commercial, there are going to be parodies, and there are.

Greenpeace hates the iPhone
In their latest media stunt, Greenpeace went after the iPhone this time, sure, it passes all the US and European Unions standards for using hazardous chemicals in electronics, but that’s not good enough for Greenpeace.
