I disagree. Apple supports older products for longer and repairs them unlike their competition. I still have an iPhone 6 and had its camera fixed at an Apple store recently for like $60. I also had them fix an issue with a 6 year old MacBook Pro. Thats pretty reasonable in my opinion. I think people get hyperbolic over this stuff and lose credibility. I can’t imagine Dell, HP, or anyone supporting a laptop for 6+ years and if I break an Android there’s no where to get it repaired officially. Apple has its problems, but let’s not be hysterical about the issue and distort the reality.

That's not the point of the video. The video shows Apple charging 1200$ for what is effectively fixing a bent pin. According to Rossman cases like this show up several times a week in his shop alone. Disclaimer: I'm an Macbook and iphone user and find apples behaviour plainly wrong.

Dell still supports the Latitude I bought for law school 12 years ago. HP still supports the laptop I bought right after law school, though I must now pay for shipping to a repair facility. As for Android, there are a great many official repair locations. They simply aren't run by the phonemakers. As with cars, most repairs are done by licensed and trained repair shops (like UBreakIFix, for Samsungs). Let's not give Apple false credit and distort the reality of how consumer electronics are repaired.
