Apple Watch not a ‘CO2- neutral product’, German court finds

Apple can no longer advertise its Apple Watch as a “CO2-neutral product” in Germany, following a court ruling on Tuesday that sided with environmentalists in finding that the US tech company had misled consumers.

Apple had promoted the device online as “our first CO2-neutral product”, a claim found by a panel of judges to be unfounded and in violation of German competition law, according to a statement from a regional court in Frankfurt.

Apple declined to comment on the ruling, which can be appealed.
