If Apple wants to continue to do this then they should be force to pay for the cost of recycling their product.
The non-repairability is imposing a real pollution cost on the rest of the world. In recent news China has decided to stop taking in the rest of the world's garbage. The toxic metals are now going to be leaching in to US water supply not just China's. Recycling/reuse/repairability has a positive economic benefit.

Yes I did, if it’s a problem with specific products then yes I think it should be addressed. Apple prides itself on an industry leading record on recyclability and any backsliding from that is unfortunate. However using glue, by itself, isn’t always a problem. It would set a significant ussue for recyclability if iPhones for example.
