Thank you for clarifying this.

It's not an excuse for Apples policy to fight "the right to repair" etc. but it's less worse than I thought.

Of course if you own new Apple products you are completely screwed when in need of repairs and no store is in sight.

That's why I still like to use the MBP from 2012 (the one with all the great ports that can be repaired still). They've done a really shitty job in the development of their devices and lost a lot of pro-users like me who won't buy the new series of devices anymore.

When they don't act on this they'll lose a fair amount of customers completely, once their cool old devices aren't usable anymore. It's their decision while governments are too afraid to do the right thing and force all companies to allow people to repair and use resources efficiently.

It should be mandatory in a world that counts it's remaining days because their ancestors just burned through the resources we have without thinking about consequences.

But we'll see if there are enough smart people who are powerful enough to fight this crap. Mother Earth won't care if we'll be here in some centuries and it will recover without us.

I'm just curious - what are your alternatives, when you actually need more processing power/GPU, than your 2012 MBP?

1. GPUs can be used as external devices did you know that? 2. I don't. 3. If I would, there are plenty other computers to buy that I can still repair way easier than this crap from Apple.
