Apple number 65 on Newsweek's list of green companies
Newsweek has published their list of the most environmentally-friendly companies, and Apple is ranked number 65 out of 500. While it didn't make the top 10 (Dell is number one), Apple improved significantly from last year when it placed 133rd. The rankings considered a number of scores, including green score, environmental impact and green policies.
Other tech companies in the top 10 include HP, IBM, Intel, Sprint, Adobe, Applied Materials and Yahoo!.
Apple has made vast improvements in their environmental friendliness over the past few years, as organizations like Greenpeace have put the pressure on. Last January Greenpeace ranked Apple first in their list of the top 18 consumer electronics company in terms of reduction or elimination of hazardous chemicals in the manufacture of its products.

Remembering this is just the US list, they don't even make the top 100 in the international list.

Dell's high ranking is helped by the fact that since it doesn't sell many products.
what?
they have the second highest market share for PCs i think, and they sell more than just PCs.
either way, it's not like there is much difference in the different varieties of iphone, ipads and ipods, it's basically the same materials, so making the process for one greener, would likely make the others greener too.
Either way, i don't buy a product based on how "green" it is, i buy it based on how useful and effective it is.
Both Apple and Dell produce good quality items, i'd be happy with either one if someone gave me as a gift, but they wouldnt be my first choice for anything.
Going green is the biggest waste of money. It uses more energy then not going green. Al Gore is a lier!
