It's basically just greenwashing. They pretend to be into renewables and recycling only when it doesn't disincentivize people from buying the newest product. Ex: iPhone trade in for recycling - Yes, they do recover some raw material but you can only do it if you're buying a new iPhone with that credit, and its probably also an attempt to keep cheap used iPhones off of the market.
