But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

    Even for unrepairable, at fault replacement(you stepped on it) apple will normally sell you a reconditioned perfect replacement for 50% the cost.

    Reliable repair and ultrafast swap and restore are one off the reasons I stick with apple.

    In no case is it ever “ almost the price of a new one”.
