A strawman argument upon which I will not engage
If I’m rich enough to buy an Apple product, I will never need to repair it, because I’ll just buy a new one in a year or two. QED. That is the entire product model, thus the point.
Apple products are extremely well built. There is no debate on that subject. They are extremely unrepairable. There is no debate on that subject. And this is not a conversation for the debate between those two subjects.
I will say this: I wish for repairable (or at least more repairable) products from Apple, but this is a very different conversation than “well-built products”
Edit: if I had said “well designed products”, then we might have a debate on the subject, but I didn’t.
I get where you’re coming from, and I get where you’re going, but the intersection you’re looking for just isn’t there
