I'm with Rossmann. If you look at the wider issue, EVERYTHING in the Apple ecosystem is broken. This isn't just an issue about repair. OSX is buggy. iOS is buggy. iTunes is buggy. Photos is buggy... etc etc. The hardware used to be solid at least. I have a 12-year-old MacBook that's still running. But, my new machines don't last. It used to be that Apple would fix stuff, so you didn't really worry about the hardware so much. But now, they'll refuse to fix things in warranty, even. So we've arrived at a point where Apple's software doesn't work, Apple's hardware doesn't work, and Apple won't acknowledge it-- and it's all at a premium price.
