A group of consumers has filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging that the company's claim of "carbon neutrality" for its Apple Watch Series 9, SE, and Ultra 2 is misleading. The plaintiffs argue that Apple's use of carbon offset projects in Kenya and China does not provide genuine carbon reductions, as the land was already protected or heavily forested before Apple's involvement.
