Introduction Climate Change Resources Smarter Chemistry Engagement and Advocacy Appendix 2023 Environmental Progress Report 16 Driving product energy efficiency while achieving more powerful performance. 13 The Product energy efficiency Product energy use accounts for 24 percent of our gross efficiency gains of the A15 Bionic chip eliminate the carbon footprint — and it has an impact on the individual need for an internal fan, resulting in a more compact energy use of each of our customers. This is why we’ve design and contributing to a 25 percent reduction in set aggressive targets to reduce our products’ energy carbon footprint over the previous generation. Through Over the course of a year, usage. We approach this challenge in the earliest phases our energy efficiency improvements, we’ve cut overall Mac Studio uses up to of design, taking a holistic view of each product — from product energy use across all major product lines by more than 70 percent since 2008. 14 And Apple products 1000 kilowatt-hours how efficiently the software operates to the power are consistently rated by ENERGY STAR, which sets less energy than a high- requirements of individual components. specifications that reflect the 25 percent most energy- end PC desktop. 18 With each generation of products, we strive to improve efficient devices on the market. In 2022, all eligible Apple energy efficiency. For example, the transition to Apple products received an ENERGY STAR rating for superior energy efficiency. 15 They also met the requirements for silicon on Mac devices continues to drive these EPEAT registration, 16 another environmental rating system improvements. The latest generation of our Pro chips is for electronic products, which considers energy efficiency enabling more Mac devices to run with improved energy and a number of other environmental topics. efficiency. For example, MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and M 2 M ax made significant progress in reducing energy use in 2022, and the new Apple TV 4K is designed to minimize its impact on the environment, using nearly Apple TV 4K is designed 30 percent less power than the previous generation to use nearly 30 percent iPhone 14 uses less power than the 57 percent less previous generation energy than the U.S. while achieving more Department of Energy’s powerful performance. 17 requirements for battery charger systems. 19
