  • Just a quick list.

    • Apple actively makes device designs more difficult to repair. Everything is either glued or soldered together.
    • They purposely make it more difficult to get tools and parts. Some tools are proprietary.
    • Performance per dollar is terrible. The better, slightly more repairable machines cost a ton of money. Spend the same amount of money on a regular PC and you would have a beast of a machine.
    • Apple sues and/or attacks anyone who tries to help people repair their devices.
    • They purposely push out OS changes that make older devices less usable.

    That’s not even including the treatment of employees or condition of the factories where Apple devices are built. I don’t know as much about that. But I can definitely comment on the above after managing iPads and Macbooks in a corporate environment.
