No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.
They’ve significantly overcharged for their products for the past 20 years. If you can’t get people to give a fuck about the bottom line, good luck getting them to care about anything else
