We already have... they've destroyed reparability by soldering in the SSD and the RAM, and they turn into soft-bricked e-waste every time someone donates one and doesn't remove their Apple cloud account first.
- gumby 3y agoThey reduced the need to repair due to disk or RAM failure by getting rid of the connectors. I am not claiming they did this out of the sweetness of their hearts, but I do challenge your first point. I believe apple could fix the “didn’t log out of iCloud” problem if they want, even if only through through some special apple-only refurb process. They would have to have some way to figure out n if it were stolen or legitimately discarded. But they have no incentive to do this.
