    But you can repair those devices if you get a certified shop to do it.

    No you can’t. Apple has contracts with component manufacturers barring them from selling board level components to anyone. You can only buy complete assemblies which usually end up costing close to the price of an entire new device.

    They also put a 500% premium on storage upgrades. And if you buy an identical device and drop it in, it will not function at all.

    Or if you don’t mind not having biometric sensors or NFC

    I dunno how you can just drop this and pretend like it’s not fucking appalling and intentionally malicious.

    It isn’t an example of planned obsolescence, just an example of poorly communicating and handling potential security concerns.

    That is some made-up bullshit if I’ve ever heard it.

    The evidence against Apple and planned obsolescence is astounding and undeniable.
