Interchangeable? No, $250 upgrade, fused with the case at the factory and somehow electronically serialized

The Apple way for hardware is more to design the thing so it breaks under normal use very quickly, and then refuse to replace it under warranty.

I know we're trolling here, but my Apple hardware has lasted way longer than my non-Apple hardware, from watch to phone to laptop.

My experience with Apple hardware has been it generally holds up. I've only on my third iPad since I bought the original in 2011. My iPhones have all lasted at least four years.

The screen on my Macbook Air has been the exception. I wonder why they can't just use the same display on those that they do iPad. Seems better quality, as well
