You should see the amount of non repairable landfilled junk from going to a kids’ birthday party. Not only does the birthday kid get a ton of non repairable cheap toys they will only play with a couple times, but every kid that attends gets their own “party favor” bag filled with non repairable landfilled junk from Dollar Tree or Amazon.

My household has tons of Apple devices, but I guarantee the amount that have ended up in a landfill is miniscule compared to cheap toys given as social gestures that have ended up in the garbage.

It is ironic considering the Apple ][ was one of the most hacked on computers out there. Right along with the 994a, ZX and c64. Apple is one of the companies that utterly destroyed that pretty cool market segment. I lost one job because one of the first things Jobs did when he came back was stop selling parts/OS to 3rd party. Our entire market software segment was gone in under a month. It was not even directly related to those items. But we were pushing it hard to make the thing more affordable to buy. It is one of the reasons there is not much silicon in silicon valley anymore.

> Seems like the fanboys are upset. Sad. Their blind brand loyalty demonstrates perfectly while Apple will never follow repairable design.

Alternatively, perhaps now would be a good time for a little introspection. You wrote a factually incorrect post trolling for emotional responses - did you really expect anything better?

What percentage of the worldwide landfills is apple products? If I’d wager a guess, I’d say it’s less that 1/1000

This is absurd. Apple operates a massive global product re-use/recycling program for their own products.
