Leather is far more environmentally friendly. Slightly more CO2, but zero plastic, micro-plastic, and PFAS pollution. Properly cared for and produced, it also lasts a lifetime. Apple’s leather products of late were awful quality.
Nice try, but it most certainly isn’t. Especially compared to recycled materials such as their new one:

I’ve had a leather belt for over 20 years and wear it every day.
Beats the crap out of any other material in the longevity department as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve had a leather iPhone case for almost a year and I use it everyday.
It definitely does not beat the crap out of any other material. It looks like shit. Not even a good patina - it just looks like ass.
