Arizona: After converting all of its data centres to clean energy, it is understood that Apple is poised to use solar power to manufacture sapphire screens for the iPhone 6, at a factory in Arizona. And in a departure for its reputation for secretiveness, Apple is going out of its way to get credit for its green efforts.
“We know that our customers expect us to do the right thing about these issues,” Lisa Jackson, the vice-president of environmental initiatives said. Data centres require huge loads of electricity to maintain climatic conditions and run the servers carrying out billions of electronic transactions every day.
