A another feather in Apple's cap of woes, my issues with apple are:
1) Overpriced: While some Apple products outperform others, many are just pricey status symbols.
2) Walled Ecosystem: It's a no-go for developers. Why can't I write a simple program and run it on my phone without jumping through hoops?
3) Fragility: Apple could make their devices more durable without increasing costs. Instead, they opt for fragile designs that aren't easily repairable.
Honestly, it's like they're begging for a downfall and Id short their stock if I could.

If iFixit can sell $29 battery tool kits, that seems like a pretty low bar.
