apple loves reusing devices as long as its them doing it, not some random pleb with an ifixit kit. all that lost cashflow.

Yes, but you're talking to the same people who were upset that Apple was ruining all of tech when they stopped including 3.5" floppy drives on the iMac, so we can't really expect them to actually have reality-based opinions on the situation.

yes, this is a good step forward. it's more of a pain in the rear end than it could be, but it's better than what they had. the previous decade or so of apple devices are clearly irrelevant.

all tech should be repairable but every ewaste center is full to the ceiling with stacks of 5-15 year old windows towers that were probably never opened once also I have a six year old phone and it's still perfectly usable, I don't think there's a single vendor besides apple where that's the case

I dunno. It was different when the next generation of wheat thresher had iron bolts instead of wooden pegs, so you had to repair that linkage with a store-bought bolt instead of carving a peg out of a nearby fencepost. but the tech we have come to grow to rely on has been shrunk to such a small scale per unit of work that I think we're hamstringing ourselves by saying we have to be able to upgrade the RAM on an apple silicon device. and dont even try to lie to me, yall don't want to 'replace the bad ram'. you want to buy the base model and put newegg ram in it If you want a 'field repairable' computer you can still get it. you can run a thinkpad from 2015. nobody's stopping you. you can use a phone from 2012 with the right carrier network. you can type your book reports on a computer that has discrete DIP14 ram chips. Nobody's legally banning you from doing that. Jonny 290 fucked around with this message at 19:26 on May 10, 2024 |

replacing ram is pretty pure strawman though, replacing batteries is important though, and replacing screens pretty far up there.

anyway i just think they should stop coming out with brand new products every year. let's just run with the iphone 15 for a couple years, it's already fast enough.
