It makes me think how that apple promo at the start of apple last keynote where they had a sketch about how environmentally friendly they are is so frustrating…
The entire message I take from that is basically they’re a bunch of morons :
“Huh huh huh look we do god shit for the environment, we are carbon neutral ahahaha yes mother nature ding dong dong ding but you get only 8gb of ram and it’s not customer replaceable dong ding bip bop so once the ram’s dead so is your computer 🤗🤗”
Yep, pretty sure my 2019 27” is going to last forever. Core i9 and SSD are super fast still after 4 years, and lack of memory is what usually slows a computer down long term, more than CPU. I bought my iMac with 8 GB and upgraded immediately to 40 GB for like $100 or something. In a few more years, maybe I’ll upgrade to 64 GB, and then I’ll be good for another long while. Meanwhile, people buying base MacBook Pros will still be slumming it with 8 GB lmao.
I was actually thinking about getting a Mac after my 3 last laptops being Macs. I usually use Apple laptops, and Windows at home. I have decided to get a Windows laptop, probably a Lenovo Yoga. I’m not gonna support Apple on this. Fuck them.
At this point, adding old features that were available 10 years ago would feel like an awesome new upgrade.
Removable battery, expandable storage via micro sd, 3.5mm headphone jack, replacement parts easily avaliable for repairs.
If apple chose to add these features these features it would be incredible. It would feel like a leap forward. However this would also upset people again and get people talking about why they were removed in the first place.
The defense is people keep paying for it. What possible incentive as a company that exists to make money would they have to charge less than what people are consistently willing to pay?
I’m a fan of Apple, but this is indefensible. The lack of aftermarket upgradability (and serviceability) of Apple hardware in general is annoying.
It’s more than annoying, it is environmentally reckless. It’s a shameful core part of their business model.

The odd thing is how easy it was to add extra memory to my 27” iMac.
Unscrew panel, stick memory in slots.
No weird ifixit tools or spudgers.
So they’re happy to allow you to do this. Or were.
