'An extortionate purchase price, justified by longevity the software is engineered to foreclose. A repair system priced like craftsmanship and run like a chicken processor. Or Amazon. Environmental piety from the high altar, e-waste from the loading dock. A recruitment strategy that runs through the school gate. And underneath it all, the quiet contempt of a company that fought right-to-repair for years, while our own Productivity Commission was politely pointing out that Australians deserve choices Apple’s serialised parts are built to deny, before discovering, with the zeal of the converted, that repairability made a lovely press release.' #apple #tech #repair #sustainability https://michaelwest.com.au/it-just-works-until-it-doesnt-inside-apples-planned-obsolescence/
