The administration of San Francisco plans to ban Apple computers in all entities associated with municipalities. According to The Guardian, the reason for this is the decision to get out of the computer giant's environmental certification scheme, which evaluates electronic products in terms of their impact on the environment. In the coming two weeks, all departments of administration of San Francisco will be sent letters explaining the position of the organization EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool), carrying out such an assessment which means that news that San Francisco will ban Apple computers next week are true. In 2010 the city administration has spent about $ 45 thousand for Apple computers, which is a tiny fraction of the total sales, which totaled $ 65 billion in the same year. However, the fact that many Apple employees live in San Francisco, and its headquarters are located just 70 km from the city, attracts more attention to the information that San Francisco bans Apple computers. Representatives of EPEAT announced last week that Cupertino company had refused to cooperate in the future. This will make EPEAT don't submit their devices for certification. This news prompted experts to suggest that as a result government agencies, schools and some private companies in the United States refuse to purchase Apple devices. Federal regulations in the U.S. require that 95% of electronic equipment purchased by state agencies, must comply with EPEAT. In this case iPad and iPhone and other iDevices aren't an exception. Apple held WWDC12 in San Francisco in June. The company still does not explain its decision to abandon the standard in the development of which the company took an active part in 2006. However, the EPEAT organization believes that the reason that San Francisco plans to ban Apple computers has become with the latest notebook MacBook Pro, which has a new display with a resolution of 5.1 megapixels. Technologies used in the manufacture of these displays, as well as in most new computers, making them difficult to recycle and costly to utilize. The application of these technologies has meant that the new device are unlikely to have received certification EPEAT. Who knows. Who knows. Even if San Francisco bans Apple computers over green credentials the company won't have big loss but it isn't pleasant at all.
