They’re all doing things like this, yes. That doesn’t make Apple any less bad though, it just means we need to fix it everywhere

Interestingly Microsoft actually seems to be supporting right to repair but it could be some kind of PR stunt, still though that’s a good step forward



> That doesn’t make Apple any less bad though

It literally does - their devices easily reach 8-10 years of active usage, and we are talking about something that is used more than your shoes per day, actively charged-discharged each day, thrown around/fallen down, etc. Like that’s a great lifetime however we look at it, and it might need one or two battery replacements max for that.


When you do need a battery replacement, you should be able to do it through whoever you want, not just Apple
