I have an iPad pro wifi from 2018 with totally dysfunctional wifi and speaker and IPS bleeding. This is my second one, the first one I exchanged for screen bleeding also. I have the last usable Mac Book Pro (2013) custom order with i7/750ssd/16gb ram and will change the battery myself soon (Apple refuses to fix laptops from 2013).

The last Apple product that I have bought is Mac Mini 2018 - unlike other Apple products, Mac Mini is easy to open and installing the ram was a surprisingly light experience. I expect next generation of Apple products to be totally glued, without option to repair at all. I have no problems with this, because I will not buy any Apple product in the future, but Apple creates trends and other manufacturers copy quick.

I don't see change for good in this direction unless legislative measures arise and insist repairability to be mandatory.

I held my 2013 MBP for a long time because of the keyboard issue and finally replaced it with the late 2019 MBP. I find the new keyboard fine (though this year it’s spent its time in clamshell mode mostly).

My MBP 2013 was "The Desktop Replacement" machine. Not anymore, all the rage about "death of the desktop computer" and now in 2020 I rock monster Ryzentosh with joy.
