- afavour 5mo agoIMO it’s a reasonable point to make when compared to something like the Framework. And it took legal action to get them to offer battery replacements for iPhones, I don’t think you can really claim they’re passionate about component reuse.
- frantathefranta 5mo agoThey are disposable, they just last way longer than any of their competitors. They are not on the level of upgradability as the Framework (anymore).
- spankibalt 5mo ago> "[...] they just last way longer than any of their competitors." Citations, please. In the meantime, an anecdote: My oldest modern-era (64-bit) daily driver is one I use heavily since 15 years. An HP, 16 or 17 years old. The only component that ever caked-out in that bird was the original mechanical hard drive, which died just this year. Similar experiences with IBM/Lenovo, Panasonic and Fujitsu. Apple laptops I don't even look at for they don't offer anything I need.
- doctaj 5mo agoAnother anecdote: I had an HP Laptop 15 years ago that only lasted 1 year.
