If you expect Cody to be nice to Apple, you will be very disappointed.

microelectronics will be inherently difficult to upgrade, reuse and recycle. their continued hyper-evolution prevents any real programs. it will happen, but there are plenty of more voluminous, low-hanging-fruit we could be working on immediately.
these are bigger items that are now made like garbage like all home appliances. these things should absolutely be user-upgrade able, 100% recyclable and designed to last decades. they could easily be designed in more modular fashion, and absolutely used to last decades.
We’ll eventually reach a point where we can just have electronics scavenge the defective electronics.
