Unreparable is probably a better description. Macs were very reparable and upgradable until the Retina laptops came out. Each new generation is less upgradable

  That's a description I would agree with, but isn't what they said. I'd still say, despite the lack of reparability and upgradability of modern Apple devices (or owner reparability), they're still hardly "disposable". They still last a long time, and their prices (while better than in the 00s) are still high enough that you wouldn't want to replace an MacBook Pro every year unless you really liked spending money (or had a buyer lined up).

    I was mainly alluding to their attitude towards refurb and repair. While they are not really any more or less disposable than other brands, Apple corporate policy strongly encourages disposing of items which could trivially lead much longer lives given the chance.
