> Everyone knows they score the lowest on repairability

Tell that to iFixit.

I’d trust their assessment more than a vague “everyone knows”. There’s nothing “everyone knows”.

Should Apple be better at repairability? Absolutely! But let’s criticise accurately and in good faith. When we don’t, points are easily dismissed and no one takes the valid parts seriously.

If I never have to open it up and repair it before it’s genuinely obsolete, then repairability is much less important to me. Part of why I buy Apple products for decades is that they seemingly never break and I take good care of my stuff. I don’t even bother getting AppleCare anymore because I never end up using it.
