Thanks. Would hope so. Just hope they soon come out with a better standard.
But Apple’s sort of ridiculous shortcomings still stand out as problematic: they
make their products virtually non-repairable and non-upgradeable, so they end up in landfills very quickly, even when they simply run out of memory

I think the missed point is that Apple argues that the EPEAT certification doesnt include a lot of green features that Apple does provide.
