But this is only a feeling. If you look at it rationally, you would have to point out at least one way in which Apple is suffering from third party repairs. Then you would have to make the case how said point is a cost heavy enough to justify these deep architectural changes. Go ahead.
- majewsky 7y ago> you would have to point out at least one way in which Apple is suffering from third party repairs When a third party messes up their repairs, it'going to give Apple bad PR because people just see broken Macs. This is not a problem for Windows PCs because enough vendors are involved and they can blame each other when something breaks. With a Mac, it's Apple all the way down, from software to hardware, and 99% of the blame will hit them, no matter how justified that assignment is.
