Since the loss of Steve Jobs, Apple seems to have lost all integrity. It has become a greedy corporate entity. They have increasingly made their products less repairable and have openly stated that third party repair people threaten their bottom line. Their products are now designed to have a life of six years, after that they are called legacy machines and are no longer supported. The dirty tricks they have used to stop their customers from self repair and upgraded has absolutely snowballed since the demise of Steve Jobs. They will not admit to any manufacturing faults until class action law suits are filed.
For your safety, only they can do repairs and they dictate the prices that are charged. They are now requiring recyclers to grind up machines to control the parts market.
