    Once again, you are misinterpreting my statements. They’re all guilty, Apple is just by far and away the absolute worst. No one else invents new screws for the explicit purpose of keeping consumers out. No one else has contracts with their suppliers that forbid them from selling to anyone else. No one else serializes components so that even if you install the exact same components from a donor board, they still won’t work.

      They’re ALL doing ALL of it. Microsoft’s Surface laptops and tablets are even less repairable than iPads and MacBooks, and Google’s devices become paperweights as soon as they get bored (and they WILL get bored… see the size of the Google Graveyard).

      Arguing over which one is the worst offender ignores the bigger picture and will lead to things continuing to get worse.
