Not only wallet friendly, keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).

Title: "The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own." The image shows a pie chart with Apple Corporation's CO2 emissions. In the center are the total emissions from 2018: "25.2 million metric tons of CO2".
