Why should I buy two devices to do the same job, where a single device from any other sane manufacturer would function 100% of the time? Especially after paying a premium for the branded device?
Pay more to get problems others don’t have, then pay even more on top to solve those problems…
You don’t become a trillion dollar company by selling people things they need. The strategy is to induce demand.
Apple designs products so that when broken it requires a repair that costs 50-75% the cost of the device if repaired by Apple. If you’re paying that much to fix it you might as well just buy a new one.
The apple vision pro is glued together, the outer shell and internal lenses have highly scratchable plastic on the outside. Want to fix it, over a thousand. They can’t just remove some screws replace the broken part. This is a deliberate design decision.
It’s not about making good products, it’s about money. If you decide buy a trackpad for when your mouse is charging, apple make bank.
I would love for an evironmental protection agency to hold corporations accountable for designed obsolescence.
