Given that this case is about importing counterfeit products from China...I disagree

They do as long as your business is near an apple store.

>If Apple designed their machines to be serviceable there wouldn't be a case.

Why should they be serviceable?

Do you buy a new car every 3000 miles or do you get it serviced? Do you buy a new car when one of your tires get punctured by a nail?

This happens all the time in the automotive industry as well. Why are aftermarkets parts allowed to exist? What's the balance between aftermarket and counterfeits?

Great, if they actually have properly trained/educated technicians at each store. Quoting for $1200 on a 5 year old laptop, to replace the motherboard and display, all because of a defective cable (a $15 fix).

Seems like a stretch to call the parts counterfeit. He imported refurbished displays that were original Apple displays with broken glass that had been replaced by a third party product. The original parts of the display still had Apple logos on them. So clearly they were refurbished, not counterfeit.

No?

Apple Care doesn't cover liquid damaged devices. And often they claim the device was liquid damaged even when it wasn't.

And when Apple does fix your machine, how many times do you get your data back? ZERO times!

Because I paid thousands of dollars for a premium machine with the tag "Pro". It is unacceptable to turn it into a paper weight if it breaks, many times without user error.
