Is it a design choice? Ifixit sells a replacement battery for his laptop for $150. Apple refuses to sell a battery only, and instead sells a battery+keyboard bundle for $600. This doesn't seem like a laptop design choice, but rather a choice of what replacement parts to sell individually vs bundled together.
- beretguy 2y agoApple is leaving themselves some room so that people like you can come to defend them, hence creating an illusion that what they are not doing is not wrong.
- Thorrez 2y agoI'm criticizing Apple, not defending them. I think what Apple is doing is wrong. I'm saying Apple's laptop design optimization wasn't the problem, the problem is that Apple refuses to sell replacement batteries. I think refusing to sell replacement batteries is worse than optimizing a laptop for thinness instead of reparability.
