Yeah I believe the strategy is to make consumers think they should "just buy a new one".
Apple is also putting up a very poor "training" program (Independent Repair Program) so that it looks like they're entertaining "right to repair" while they ensure the program is not adequate enough for people taking the course to handle even the most basic repairs.
Apple also locks it all up in tight NDAs so that they can't discuss this publicly.

- ntsplnkv2 6y agoI don't think it's so much "buy a new one" as it is "buy apple care."
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoApple care doesn't last too long. More like buy apple care and when that runs out, buy a new one.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoPoint well taken, but that doesn't seem to be Apple's MO. Most of my apple devices have lived far past their life. Now maybe in 10 years I look back to this time and say that is no longer true, but I have multiple 10 year + old pieces of apple hardware that still function remarkably well.
