I always find it ironic how people bitch and moan about how hard it is to repair Apple products... yet they probably never touched any of the models we USED to repair in the 90's or early 2000's.

70+ screws in a iBook G4 anyone?

Hell even my iPhone 6s was easier to replace the lightning port than the iPhone 3s screen.

Apples come a long way on making things repairable. Its just you are not buying these parts at your local electronics store which is the complaint... but honestly based on the quality of many of those old 3s screens from China I WOULDNT WANT TO EITHER... they were absolutely trash and to get a Apple equivalent you were maybe saving 10-20 bucks at most.

I changed the HDD in a 2012 MacBook for a friend once, took no time at all. My old iBook G4 (I used it until a few years ago)... Well that's still needing a repair lol

You're comparing Apple to Apple only. Even if they became marginally better they still suck compared to the competition (at least for computers) and both they and the competition suck in terms of the environment
