I think this is a bit of a distortion. I know many Apple users, myself included, who still have laptops or desktops from 8 - 10 years ago that are still running and useful. They last just as long as Windows machines, if not usually longer.
- thawaway1837 7y agoApple wasn’t gluing things together 8-10 years ago. My 2008ish MacBook lasted almost a decade because I was able to open it and replace the HDD with an SSD and max out its RAM. Without that even if it was working fine, it would have basically been unusable. This is not true of their current offerings. Also, this doesn’t factor in that when things do go wrong, and they often do, repairing them has become significantly more expensive, because you cannot simply replace an HDD for example.
