I am totally confused. For the WEEE directive, what is the black bar at the bottom of the wheelie bin symbol for?
Before you go quoting Wikipedia, consider the Wiki article might be wrong or out of date.
On the box and the device of the latest Apple iPhone, there is
no black bar at the bottom of the Wheelie bin. In fact it appears all the Apple phones don't have the bar.
On the box and the device of the Samsung S8, there is a black bar at the bottom of the Wheelie bin. In fact it appears all the Samsung phones have the bar.
WHY?
It also appears batteries, whether user accessible or not, never have the black bar under the wheelie bin. WHY?
Is this just a case of utter confusion by another European directive? Or is Apple liable to a juicy billion dollar fine by the EU for not meeting the WEEE standards?
Another question: Why do BOTH of these companies not use the correct wheelie bin image (ie: with a handle etc)?
