Memory modules soldered to the motherboard - this is now common in most laptops, it's almost harder to find one without this then it is with this.
Limiting speed based on battery life - most laptops do this?
Opposing 3rd party repair shops - most large companies want you to send it back to them or take it to their repair company. Many large companies even have a "Samsung certified repair person" you need to call.
Apple is a large company and is not doing mysterious nefarious acts. They do what most other companies do.
- sukilot 6y agoMy house, my car (not a Tesla), and my fridge are all amenable to 3rd-party repairs. As is my phone. The fact that "most big companies" want to a monopoly doesn't make it acceptable.

- 29athrowaway 6y agoSoldering the memory modules is just gangsta. There is no reason to do it. The fact Samsung does it too is because they want to profit as much as Apple. It is not better for the consumer.
