      There are engineering reasons for every single one of your grievances, Im sure you can find them if you ook for a bit since you seem versed on hardware, then again, It is also acceptable to think that they do it to hurt the repairability of their products to milk more money from insurance and official repair shops.

      The problem is that often all other companies come to the same engineering solutions that seem at first "anticonsumer" but when Its not apple doing it people seem to be more understanding, perhaps because Apple products are overpriced or maybe because they often do it first or a combination of both.

      I do not support Apple as a company in any way, I just think they do some cool products and Im excited about their upcoming technology, they spent a lot of RND money on it through this last few years of stagnation.

          Yeah, I agree. But making products with a strong design motive is perfectly valid, they should give people more options to get a MacOs machine for power users or more value centric consumers but they wont, they are ruthless in that regard. The last Iphone SE though seems to be a step in the right direction.

          I didn't know about the propietary Ram, the screws honestly I do not care that much about, you can get a screwdriver por pennies on ebay, no idea what they do it for though.
