Note how Apple hosts neither of those manuals? Apple doesn't care if their products are user serviceable at all, and has repeatedly shown malice towards the repair industry or long lived products at all. Louis Rossmann talking about how Apple devices are designed to fail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfrYOWlKJ_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfrYOWlKJ_g Also, my iPad 2 broke down after a year and a half. Not buying Apple again!

Of course this is anecdotal, but I know people who, even up to one or two years ago, were still using the white plastic MacBook and a lot of people who still use the MacBook with the internal disk drive. I also know many people who have old iPhone 5/5s that still function very well, besides being slow. I think it would be great if Apple designed their products to be user serviceable so if something like a screen breaks all you have to do is buy the screen and repair it yourself instead of sending to a repair store, but I definitely don't agree that Apple designs their products to fail.
