Apple sued by consumers who said its claim that three versions of Apple Watches are "carbon neutral" and environmentally friendly is false and misleading.

Seven purchasers of the green-tagged Apple Watch Series 9 , SE and Ultra 2 said they would not have bought their watches or would have paid less had they known the truth.

Apple launched the watches in September 2023 , saying they would be carbon neutral through lower emissions and purchases of carbon offsets.
