No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.
Maybe they have stock in an ewaste disposal company. Apple creates a lot of that, now that they’re unrepairable and un-resale-able.
