If repairability was important to consumers, it would be a selling point for competitors. But it's not.

If Apple actually cared about sustainability, they would make their devices repairable.

They are repairable, but not by consumers in most cases.

They are mostly not repairable even by authorized repair providers.

Basically, they can only change a few components (keyboard, display (with assembly), motherboard, and probably the aluminium case), but that's it.

You literally cannot replace the battery in that Surface Laptop without destroying the whole thing.

It's made to be thrown away, instead of repaired.

The conversation is about repairability, and Apple has yet to make a line of products that consistently earns a repairability score of 1 or less.
