"You’re taking away my right as a consumer to have a better computer."
I wouldn't do that. But do you think it is necessary, that your battery is fixed by glue?
You won't have a 14 h battery life forever. And easy battery change should be standard, unless we are talking about diving electronics.
- scarface_74 3y agoWhy would I risk ruining my $3200 MacBook Pro to save $70 to replace the battery myself seeing how tight the tolerances are for everything related to laptop Macs instead of just letting Apple or a 3rd party authorized repair person do it for $249? The glue on the battery is the least of my problems. Do you really think that Apple glues the battery down for that sweet little money they make on battery replacements for the relatively few they sell? Macs themselves only make up 10% of their revenue. How much do you think out of warranty battery replacements make them?
- hutzlibu 3y ago" $249" That's the point. A battery is way cheaper and so would be the replacement, if not for the glue. If you are fine with it, thats fine for you. And every solid laptop will need a new battery at some point. That all adds up to Apples revenue.
- scarface_74 3y agoA battery that is actually safe? How much profit do you think Apple makes from selling batteries and replacement services considering how relatively few Macs Apple sells and how often people upgrade?
