What's the alternative then Louis? A WINDOWS laptop? Please, just no. It's only recently that linux destops have grown to provide a decent alternative and even they lack the smooth integration to the backups and media sources. Apple is not just a hardware producer, it produces an ecosystem that works far better than the competition. When it works.
@@dingdong2103 Wish linux laptops become a decebt and fast option one day. I don't want a laptop that i would want to get rid of 3 years later bcs of not enough performance for me 💀
People on ebay seem to think that Apple products don't deprecate: 'I bought this iMac 5 years ago for £2,000. I spilled Starbucks on it so I'm only asking for £1,900'.
I recently went to eBay in hopes of replacing my deceased 2011 MacBook Pro. They were selling it for just as much as it would cost to buy a 2019 MacBook Pro. Madness.
Ikr, what kind of a piece of shit controller breaks from regular use? Literally every controller I've ever had for any system, including other nintendo systems, lasts forever unless I drop them or lose them, I've used gamecube and xbox controllers so long that the rubber on the control sticks eroded away, but they still work! Meanwhile this Fisher-price trash joycon malfunctions within a few months. Ninty is really slipping, hopefully that class action lawsuit pays out soon
@@tongpoo8985 I got a lot of controllers. Some are even over 20 years old and they work like day 1. My Joycons on the other hand... They broke after a month of playing(I got bigger hands, the only controller that fits properly is the original duke controller for the OG Xbox)
I liked it, But then i removed the like. At this point you are at 666likes and i wanna leave it like this, so here is your like +1... Also i am getting a T-shirt with this on it.
How many Apple cult members does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, it's a proprietary light bulb only serviceable under the protection plan by a certified Apple Technician.
@ Alan Rizkallah What certified Apple Technician ??? Are they really able to identify real malfunctioning issues, or are just there to swap components until it works again??? In that case, anyone can do that....Oh and don't even start me over the "Genius-es" at the Apple stores....I would just loooove to catch one and strangle him a little with one power cord from a macbook 2013 model, the MagSafe :-)))
Jokes aside, _Apple_ actually *is* a textbook totalitarian cult. Deliberately built this way using a cult-building manual. It's same as Scientology, probably inspired by it.
Seriously, there was a CNBC or abc or something news story where they went into an apple store to get a MacBook repaired, and the dude said something about water damage, then said they’d need to charge $1100 for repairs and $100 in labor, and $600 to reset the sensors or something They took it down the road to a repair shop and the dude bent a pin and it worked just fine
"And the issue here is that this one chip after it dies, will short a main power rail to ground." I'm sorry, *what*?! What kind of design is that? That's like if you designed a car fuel system that would randomly stop working, and when it stops working it would just ignite all the fuel in the tank. "Think different."
He manages to make a good amount of money repairing Apple products, but still he suggests every one to not buy Apple products. Huge respect for your dedication and the ethics you put on your job.
Basically liberals. “I hate Capitalism ! Support my small business though !” How do you hate he who gives you a job. If Apple didn’t exist Louis Rossman’s youtube career wouldn’t exist in the caliber that it’s in. Let’s be real. But just like it’s cool for a community to love Apple, this is a community where it’s cool to hate Apple. Ironically, they don’t understand that they’re on two different sides of the same obsessed coin.
@@KjvYaBoii How fucking crazy obsessed are you that you took this to political and economic labels....capitalism vs yada yada yada. These are corporations, they manufacture goods and there is a predictable failure and defect rate of every part and a lifespan. These corporations, like Apple, mix and match their part selection to make their products disposable and short lived, many reaching obsolescence within a year of release. And Apple...Apple is special with this because they try to take COMMON technology, make it attractive to you so you buy it, even though it's more proprietary than a car(you technically don't even own the entire device, you're a licensee), so no one can touch them, like they're some kind of medical device manufacturer. They aren't selling you a product, they're selling you a business relationship with them, where so long as you have their product, you are stuck with them for maintenance and upkeep. And what better way to repeatedly pressure resale than to get you when you're vulnerable and without the device you crave connection to. This is what this man is showing you and folks get on here, though in small numbers, and try to talk about Apple being his paycheck...He's a electrical engineer idiots-he doesn't need a corporation, he has skills not tied to any single manufacturer. He's in insider trying to tell you you're sheep and MOST the things he's seen from Genius Bar and Geek Squad are freebie fixes so don't trust them. This isn't how free trade and capitalism are supposed to coexist, so why you would bring this to politics is beyond me. Apple is a prime example how Capitalism is NOT suppose to work in the US. Monopolies are supposed to be banned, huge corporations are not supposed to be allowed to control entire markets.
customer: " OH MY GOD! my macbook pro for 3000€ start overheating and i saw some smoke too! " Apple: So buy a new one right? customer" : yea thanks Apple, i lowe u.
I've had a pretty deep hatred of Apple ever since a malfunctioning Mac caused me to fail my multimedia final (which was 50% of my grade) in high school. "You probably did something wrong." my Apple fanatic friend says as they place their smashed screen iPhone on my coffee table before bending down to search between the carpet fibers for the $300 airpods they dropped.
Did you hold down the GPU constantly even though it’s not supposed to come off? No? Well, then that’s your fault. In all seriousness, this is horrible. Absolute bullshit. Making money is more important than someone’s future, apparently.
Back when 4G first came out, I specifically remembered when apple released The Apple IPHONE 3GS and people where lined up almost outside the Mall to get this "ALL NEW SMART PHONE" That was 3G capable, I was left scratching my head wondering why..... as I walked in the opposite direction looking at all the Die-Hard Appletons, I held up my 4G Samsung Galaxy and kept repeating myself asking them: "ARE YOU NOT ALL AWARE 3G HAS BEEN SUPERCEDED BY 4G NOW? SAMSUNG HAD 4G PHONES OVER HALF A YEAR!!" That was the moment I realized How deep apples influence ran. When a tech company can have customers lining up to buy yesterday's technology at Tomorrow's Prices is Nucking Futs
Guess what, nobodg gives a damn, it's tech - let people buy what they want not what you think is better. Sad how you believe tech companies define the who people are .
@@lexluthor3811 Can't 4G enabled devices also use 3G, and 5G enabled devices use 3/4G too? Adding compatibility with promising nascent technologies to your devices is futureproofing, and it's great. I wouldn't judge someone who bought a new phone that wasn't compatible, but I'm gonna squint a little at a company who charge _a lot_ of money to their customers for regular upgrades not using the latest technology.
1:01 - 2008 Macbooks with hinge problem. 5:00 - Capacitor that would fail to provide power to GPU because it's not supposed to be used with AC. 6:10 - iPhone 4 cellular placement fail 7:10 - iPhone 5 power button problem. 7:27 - Another MBP Problem with GPU failure, due to came capacitor that was causing problem on a 2008 model.

cheater00 and yet at Apple there isn't much of a choice either. People don't know because they don't look for it, even this video can't so nothing for them. But by any means: - Any Dell XPS from 2015 to 2018 - Any Thinkpad really - Matebook pro for the style obsessed ;) Etc.
the problem is, every other manufacturer is making almost same shit designs that it feels like that they purposely doing this so that units will fail after couple of years. You cant possibly show any better alternatives to people unless we were in 2010.. Any brand that makes though (do actually works forna long years) laptops or phones already get bankrupt and erased from history. I highly recommend you to read brave new world. Because this is how new world order looks like.
You missed out the massive problem of retina MBPs having their anti-reflective coating peel off and look absolutely horrible, and still not being fixed 5 years later. The screen replacement program has been running since 2015, it's insane
Person at an ant trap: Pfff how could ants fall for something so obvious? At mouse trap: how are mice so stupid? At bear trap: Really, Bears? Come on! Person: *Ooh boy! The new iPhone 37!*
This is exactly why i always laugh at people, when they say: "Apple prices aren't so high for the brand name. It is their technology being so advanced." Yeah.. very advanced. Advanced glue?
Yeah, their Mac software hasn't been really advanced either. I will agree that iOS is written in Objective C, so it consumes less RAM than android per app. But Linux, Windows, etc are all written in C, assembly and are highly optimized. Windows has better support and software availability than macOS Mac OS doesn't have any "optimization". they keep changing their chip sets and have never supported graphics properly. Windows has proven to have better gaming performance and boot up times as well. It's so bullshit that apple prevents their software (final cut Pro and others) from being used elsewhere, cuz it's one of the only reasons to buy their PC's anyways.
I've been using Android and avoiding Apple like the plague. When I got my job 2 years ago, they gave me an iPhone to use. I hated it. The menus are clunky and our business app crashed constantly. The camera didn't know what app was using it and wouldn't focus properly. Those are just a few of the complaints I had. I'll never buy an Apple product. Especially after seeing this video. I recently helped a friend fix their MacBook. It installed Mountain Lion, an old version. You have to manually update it to a slightly newer version before you could just install the new version. Wtf.
Just watched this again in 2021. Apple is even more successful than ever before. Why do Apple users keep forgiving this company? It is hard to fathom for me.
They don't. Apple just keeps shaming them into it. It's like, "Heeey, you don't want everyone at Whole Foods to think you aren't keeping up with them ... do you? It would be a shame if , you know, you walked in with such an old phone. People might wonder if you only buy organic ... every now and then... Hmm We'll just mass text everyone and let them know you'll get your budget together soon, mmk ... maybe see if they can donate any spare charging cables and adapters since they won't need them ... ever."
Apple’s more successful because they finally made Mac’s worth buying for more than their first-party software. Questionable upgrade prices aside, their performance, engineering and value are leagues better than the dark ages of the mid-2010’s. (This is from a non-Mac guy)
My family’s been using Apple products for years, so all our photos, videos, documents, etc are stored in the Apple cloud; we’re basically having our data being held hostage, and that’s the reason my dad gives me whenever I propose a switch.
A similar thing happened with my old iphone 5. In early 2015 Apple's newest software update BRICKED my phone, and when I took it in to get it repaired, not only did they FORGET I was there after I had been forced to make an APPOINTMENT and had reminded them I was there multiple times over the HOUR that I had to sit there (they literally were closing the store, turning off the lights with me being the ONLY PERSON still sitting there in the MIDDLE OF THE STORE), but when I called someone over, he said they needed to run tests on it. I told him I'd already tried taking it to a 3rd party repair shop and knew what the issue was because it was fairly widespread, but he said company policy required that they run a test via the phone. I told him the phone wouldn't turn on, and he insisted that they had to run the test on it. 15 minutes later he comes back and says that they can't run the test on the phone because it won't power on (he said this as if I wasn't aware of that), and that because they can't run the test, they won't be able to do anything to fix it. I didn't even have the option to PAY to get it repaired. He said I would just have to buy a new phone. I asked to speak to the manager, he said the manager had already left because the store was closed. He acted like I had shown up at the last second unannounced, as opposed to, you know, sitting there for over an hour with my thumb up my ass trying to get help. I looked him in the face and said "what you're telling me right now is that BECAUSE the phone is broken, your policy PREVENTS you from fixing it. Does that make any sense to you?" He replied "if you want to buy a new phone now, I can take $20 off of an otter box case because you had to wait a little bit longer (yes, he had the BALLS to say "a little bit longer") but that's about the best I can do." I looked him dead in the face and said "No thanks, I'll just get an Android." It's been 5 years and I've never once looked back. Android. For. Life.
I had the exact same experience as you at apple store and like you i went to samsong but about a year later the phone didn't want to charge so went back to the store kind of upset but the saleman said it couldn't be fixt so he just give me a new one
I grew up using Apple's products. Through high school I was that kid arguing with my friends over mac vs. windows. Now in my 30's, I switched to windows three years ago and haven't looked back. Thanks for telling it like it is.
S4nari I had a similar arguments of Motorola vs Apple. I miss my little flip phone Motorola. That sucker lasted me 3 years and still worked like brand new, despite being thrown, dropped, and rough handled.
I'd settle for macOS (A certified UNIX operating system) over Windows any-day of the week. Thankfully, I can build a Hackintosh and run macOS on decent hardware. Apple really needs to correct its hardware path.
@Evi1M4chine These are all the apple hardware products I've ever used: Macintosh Plus, Macintosh II, iBook, first-generation iPod, Original iMac, Power Mac G4, PowerBook G4 12", iPod touch, MacBook Air, Ipad, Macbook Pro, Mac Pro, ipod Nano, Iphone 6, Ipad Pro. Not listed here is the multitude of mac only software that went along with these machines including things like Final Cut Pro. So yeah, I have experience with their products, both currently and throughout the companies history. Nothing in my comment would suggest that I confuse software and hardware, I've used it all since the late 80's. The pricing of their products are not justified by the return of any extra processing power or availability of exclusive software. Also, being able to run one OS on the other machine is irrelevant.
Many Apple flaws are there because management refuses to believe that a perfect company could possibly have a flawed product - you know. a cult. When I was working at Apple I found an obvious flaw and a simple fix for the iMac-7 fan control problem. It was huge electrical noise emissions from a poorly designed power supply distorting data on a nearby cable. "You're wrong. We have good power supplies" my boss said, totally ignoring the facts and evidence which I had found. I left that goofy place soon after. iMac-7 went into production, then all I read in user reviews were complaints about the fan. Not my problem anymore.
‘Cheaply built’ ok, like my lovely plastic dell which shredded my DVD while I typed on it because there was no material between the keyboard and the optic drive. Your argument seems to be simply that Apple products are flawed, and it takes longer than seems necessary to amend the design flaws. I feel your pain, but honestly, I find this is just a growing trend, electronics are today’s version of expensive disposable cameras. Dell, HP, Apple, Samsung. All very flawed and designed to fail. They want you to buy a new one in 2-3 years. And... honestly, by then you wouldn’t really want to still be using the machine as it will be reliant on what is now outdated tech. If you analyze the circuits in any modern product, you will find many flaws. At the end of the day, there has to be such a thing as ‘good enough to ship’. They can’t spend 5 years designing and perfecting the next model, they come out every 6 months anymore. I work in IT, and I know as well as you do; if none of this stuff ever broke down, we wouldn’t have a job. Under HEAVY use, I literally EXPECT failure: Monitors max 5 years Mouse/keyboard 1 year Desktop 2-3 years Laptop 1.5 years major repair, 3 years salvage/dead Hard drive 2 years tops SSD 2-3 years maybe Bottom line is unless you are babying machines, they will break simply from use and wear. In a busy work environment, the data and continued productivity is crucial and downtime or lack of machines far outweighs the comparably small size of doing some repairs or even replacing a batch of machines. Perfect machines that never fail just wont happen.
thejpkotor Dell is the only manufacturer worst than Apple. Get yourself a quality Asus laptop. I still have one running strong since 2010. The battery died sometime ago but that’s expected.
In Norway we have 5 year warranty (Its called "reklamasjonsrett" ,and it gives the consumer a lot of power). Exception is battery. They have 3 years of reklamasjonsrett. Can take the case to a govermental agency if the store/brand does not want to comply. Works pretty well, and Apple has lost a ton of cases this way. If they Lie about product, or have made it with fault you have right to money back, FREE fix or some compensation.
@@machtundrebel3127 I know right. Its so annoying having the security of "free" school and healthcare. And regulations on how much companies can scam us. Everyone over here hate it so much. xD Its not socialism tho. You need school.
👉 Apple sues iPhone screen repair shop for screen refurbishing and loses. ruclips.net/video/oNl2q6YZXlA/видео.html In addition to being technically terrible, Apple is also morally terrible.
There is a typo under your description. Also, would you open to discuss the alternatives for engineering workstations? Since Lenovo always run weird promo periods throughout the years, it's really hard to decide if it is the best for most of us. Thanks a lot in advanced.
Louis Rossmann my good fellow friend, in response to your question towards the end you are bang on ,it's despicable behaviour from a firm that solely relay on the fan boy cult to getaway with such poor craftsmanship, people need to wake up and spend their hard earned money where it is justified to do so unlike this crap apple presents .
You run a channel that hate bashes Apple and you say your a repair technician? If you're not repairing Mac's cos you hate them so much what are you repairing? Other products made by other companies that do EXACTLY the same shit that Apple do just they aren't as big? I'm not defending Apple I'm a Windows boy at heart (despite the fact I fucking hate Windows), but If I'm being honest, I've had to replace 3 Windows laptops in the past year and constantly have problems with my Asus motherboards connections, had to RMA 2 gtx 1070's till I got a working one AND have a £240 Dell screen that got a dead pixel in 6 months. I loved all of these products truly, when they break I rush to repair or replace them I've had 2 android phones a htc and a samsung both disintegrated after 2 years. I've had the same iphone and macbook pro kicking around (which I use regularly) and not a problem in 7 years. Do I think they are the holy grail of technology? No but other companies are making the same shit charging the same shit and of lesser quality (looking at you samsung). I think it would be in your interest to bash ALL of these trash bag companies, cos if you got your wish and Apple disappears, you'll have no content on your channel anymore. You should probably diversify.
As an electronic design engineer I was looking at Apple in 1976 when they introduced the Apple 1 computer. I thought then it was a product that had potential but was poorly designed. My problem with Apple even then was their business practices and the way they treat their customers. They have a reputation for screwing their customers with high prices and producing products with a built-in limited life span and are also closed systems to make you buy the next generation of product from them when the product dies or becomes obsolete. People that continue to buy Apple products are just crazy people with no understanding of electronics. Even when screwed by Apple they just continue to buy their crap for extremely high prices. I don't understand their thinking but it is their money to spend any way they like. I refuse to ever buy an Apple product from 1976 till today.
So...43 years ago..in the absolute infancy of personal computers, you thought that the Apple 1 computer had potential but was poorly designed? You were one of the people that was able to get your hands on one of the 200 units made and critiqued its design? What experience did you have in personal computing did you have at this time? Or..did you just look at a picture of the machine? "People that continue to buy Apple products are just crazy people with no understanding of electronics." LMAO. Is that your statement? Funny..most people buy these devices because they don't..and don't want to understand electronics. They just want a device that works smoothly. They want to turn it on and use it. Which is exactly what Apple provides. This is why people keep buying Apple products...I don't understand how you can have any idea what it is like to own an apple product if you never have had one? How did you know how they treat their customers? I will tell you this. When my son was in college we offered to buy him a mac desktop..he wanted a PC. We advised against it but he insisted he wanted a PC. We bought him a Dell Inspiron. As far as I could tell he never had a problem with the hardware..but he was constantly dealing with malware and virus's. People are willing to pay more for a product that works. Back in the day I had a Dell, Packard Bell and IBM desktops. I liked them at the time. After I bought my first iMac I was hooked. Everything just worked flawlessly. No virus's no problems. I have had 2 iMacs, 3 ipads, 5 iphones, apple TV, apple watch, two macbook pros, ipods, ipod shuffle and a time capsule. The only problems I had were..the first iMac, hard drive failed after 9 years. Apple replaced it at the Apple store for just the cost of the part. My time capsule had multiple hard drive failures. Great product idea but I had a lot of problems with it. See, unlike you I don't care what anyone else buys..I buy what works for me. According to your summation you make me out to a crazy person. Why? Again, if you have never bought an Apple product how can you tell people what that experience is like? So..people that buy PC's and Android products understand electronics and aren't crazy? lol. You see, I can only tell you about my experiences. You talk about products having a built in limited life span? What consumer electronics product doesn't? One last point...everyone that has a smartphone now has more information on it than at home. With that being said, Android is so far below Apple in data safety it is not even in the same universe. Which is part of the reason the android platform is much more customizable. I still get a kick out of reading that you don't like the way Apple treats there customers..lol...saying that and NEVER having owned an Apple product. So..you just read what other people say and make it gospel? BTW..I was 16 in 1976..how old were you?
@@kevinshea5819 are you criticizing an electronic engineer? I can't stop laughing, a simple customer who says at an engineer how he should see things/products with a critical eye... You wrote something unreadable for how long It Is, just to say to an engineer "you didn't have the instruments to see the product properly", well guess what, you surely don't have and Will never have the critical eye the engineers have 'cause you don't want to criticize what you have a feeling for. It doesn't exist you can even think to tell to an engineer how he should see the products/things cause your blindness Is the cause Apple does shitty quality products, and since they know It's their weak point, they take advantage of conditions in their warranty programs to screw the the customer (you). This type of people doesn't demonstrate coherence to criticize someone else's thinking, so live in your Little world and shut up! You have what you deserve; pay a lot to solve nothing, but leave in peace Who doesn't want to do the same.
Anto G Well as a PhD candidate in engineering at an R1, I can assure you that OP is full of BS. Steve Wozniak is a genius and revolutionized the personal computer using innovative circuitry with the Apple I and some Atari games. You can hate Apple today but saying the Apple 1 was poorly designed makes 0 sense. If that was the case Apple would have never grown as it did. Furthermore, a ton of innovation with the GUI and usability happened on the mac. It’s one thing to disagree with the direction Apple took or dislike their current hardware, but denying the impact it had is a whole new level of BS hating.
@@diverman1023 don't make confusion, i'm an engineer and i lived the transformation of seeing something with "new eyes". I replied to the post in which someone who demonstrates to don't have the instruments to criticize products (the customer "eye") tells to someone who can have the instruments to see critically "you're wrong, i'm right", asking about the age and other things which are useless in this topic (attacking firstly the person, not what have been added to the discussion). This Is the attitude which create confusion. You've done the right thing; in synthesis you said: "i don't share what Richard said cause i see those things which make me say that It was well designed." There was an argumentation and you did It without attacking the person, this Is how a constructive discussion Is. Also you replyed to something old (Apple I), i was talking about something newer (post 2008), so don't make confusion; about Apple I, talk directly to Richard, about Apple post 2008 i can participate to the discussion, about what i've said to Kevin don't name Apple cause the subject was the attitude to demonstrate a critical thinking, which Kevin doesn't have; the fact It was defending Apple was a plus, if he tried to defend another brand in the same way i could write something very similar.
@@diverman1023 anyway, what today happens demonstrates that the consensus doesn't come only After quality, so i can say that the reasons Apple has grown so much aren't only in the potential of the Apple I (also because all the big party people who didn't help Apple to grow up, i don't remember specifically the names of the the reference of the PC market, but i remember that most of them didn't accept to help Apple, cause they also didn't see sufficient potential in their project). I don't think these people were stupids and i understand what Richard could have think: something these big names could have think also. So, Apple surely had success but the reasons aren't so simple to find and understand...
Honestly, and I’m not excusing the people who got screwed over, but it’s always a very small % if units that have failures in their normal lifespan. OP’s job means he encounters these machines every day, but that doesn’t mean it’s widespread. In my experience macs last way longer than any windows laptop I owned.
Mat Well first of all, I don’t think it’s fair that you put an aura of ease of use “toys” around the mac, because it’s a very versatile OS that’s extensively used by the majority of STEM researchers, many experts in their field. The beauty of it is that a text editor, developer and researcher can all feel like it was tailored to their use. And in any case, don’t you think it’s fine if people want a stable experience with a phone and computer? There is nothing wrong with people wanting to pay a few extra hundred bucks to not get a blue screen if they can afford it. They’re good phones and good computers. Second, I have used many, many computers. In my personal experience, Apple products have lasted significantly longer. I’m not denying that they make engineering mistakes, I just personally have never encountered these “widespread” failures with extensive use and my family members either with simple use. This is why a lot of Apple costumers, when they hear all the time that macs are shit that have widespread issues, respond this way. Regarding the video, he’s a repair man that is constantly exposed to broken macs, so the failure points become apparent. He also makes most of his popularity with videos that paint a negative view of Apple. What numbers do you have regarding the number that fail? A few forum posts and people bringing it in his shop isn’t enough to paint an accurate picture considering the millions of units sold.
I bought a Macbook Pro in the year 2000. It was the first generation of the so called 'aircraft aluminium' and supposedly milled from a solid piece of that aluminium. I think it cost well over £2400, which back then was a Kings ransom. On slotting a disc into the player I found that it would not eject the disc, caused by a misalignment between the player and the milled slot on the case. The only way I could remove the disc after pressing eject was to insert a very thin pair of tweezers into the slot and pull the disc out far enough to get my fingers on it. I explained my problem over the phone to the apple store, who were then based in ireland, and asked for a replacement laptop. They informed me that under no circumstances would they give me a replacement and my only option was... 1. Return the laptop by post to their store at my expense. 2. Wait a minimum of 8 weeks from the date they received the laptop for a decision and/or repair. 3 Pay a small charge for the return postage, and a second larger charge if they found no problem with my laptop. At that point I informed them that there was a second option. Because of UK laws I was entitled to a full refund, with them reimbursing the postage I paid to return it to them. I did this and the following year (2001)went out and bought a Sony Vaio laptop for over £1200 less with higher spec. This ran Windows XP and lasted over 10 years and the only expense I ever went to was to double the ram and fit a larger hard drive later in it's life. It's now in a cupboard somewhere and would probably still start up and work fine if I tried it. I then vowed never to buy another product from Apple, and have kept my word. To this day I wouldn't piss on Apple if they were on fire.
I thought the 2000 Macbook Pro had the little hole by the drive where you could insert a paper clip to eject it... I could be wrong... Was a long time ago... No I'm sure it did have that option...
IMO Apple's undoing was when the iMacs caught on like wildfire and they decided to put style over substance and put a premium price tag on less-than-premium hardware.
@@MementoMori-xx5qo (No hate) haven't seen? There is well built windows laptops, with the same kind of aluminum body (they're more rare ofc) but example new(ish) Dell XPS series could be pretty close. *some new MacBooks have that problem, if you close and open the screen (laptop ofc) the" screen flex cable" will broke in matter of time because the cable is too short...( and Apple's engineering is only the reason why its happening( "its your fault" is their idea behind that.) (Apple didn't even admit it?)*

I've been an Apple customer for years, but after discovering your channel I can confidently say I will never purchase any Apple product again. I knew they were shady, but wtf
Nice video, I like how you not only discussed the problems , but showed the exact design failures in real life and explained where Apple failed to back their own products up. This reminds me of issues I see daily in auto repair, where the manufacture knows for a fact they have a design failure, but instead blames the customer or pretends it is normal wear and tear.
And Apple's LATEST engineering failure is putting an Intel Core i9 in a thin 2018 MacBook Pro. Cooling is so poor that the i9 can't even maintain its BASE clock speed under heavy load due to thermal throttling. This means the premium you pay for the i9 gives you LESS performance than the i7 version in some cases!
Its not actually the core i9 that is getting to hot, but the driver chips that provide the power to the i9 cpu, and that is why this macbook is throttling down the speed, those chips can't compete with the "power hungry" i9 chip, so the chip doesn't receive its full power because the drivers are boiling themselves of the board, this macbook will die in about 13 to 14 months, and many will think it is a dead cpu while the actual problem are those boiling driver chips, and these chips are made by apple and nobody can provide those, so apple has made a unfixable machine again that will fail in a very short amount of time, unless repair shops can get their hands on donor boards, but the i9 model is simply to new
you don't need water cooling for an i9, matter of fact is that air coolers are actualyl better for cooling, water cooling is actually less efficient than air cooling, it's just quieter.
My HP laptop had 2 drinks spilled on it, was in a house fire and got hosed down, dropped down the stairs while on, and managed to last 10 years. The screen backlight would eventually start to flicker occasionally, or not turn on with the laptop itself after 8 years. Recently, when I tried to get something from it, after 12 years, it finally wouldn't boot. It was a 540$ machine and it served me very well for a long time. And even spent years of its life playing games, working hard.
I have a samsung notebook that my parents gave to me in 2011. It was slow already in 2011, with a simple pentium dual core and 4 gigs of ram. I remember the laptop struggled to run cs go but I still gamed a lot in it. I did everything I could so I could use it far beyond its potential. I have a picture using an external monitor, cooler, external mouse and keyboard, headphones etc and there I was happy as I could be. I eventually upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM and put an SSD on it and it still works perfectly whilst being almost 10 years old. I just recently opened it to clean it and it's still a laptop I use just to watch videos or something
I've heard a story of a person accidentally dropping their Lenovo Thinkpad from the rafters of a stage. They picked it up and it was still running, no damage other then some scuffs. with a macbook the screen would probably be separated from the computer.
Ok. But it isn't said that a Mac can't do the same. I have been an Apple user since the Apple II which my father brought home. And i have never had any issues with any Mac i purchased. And i purchased a lot of Apple products over time (several releases and sizes in iMac's, several releases and sizes in MacBook and MacBook Pro's, several releases and sizes iPhones and iPads). And i even own a 12 inch MacBook 2017 with butterfly keyboard which i use daily and no issues with the butterfly keyboard. So having an HP, Samsung or Lenovo does not mean that they can't have similar issues as well. Ok, Apple could have handled warranty and service better. But it is often also Apple bashing by mainly Windows users who never even used an Apple device. And my girlfriend has had many Windows notebooks by Acer, Asus, HP and Lenovo. And they all had issues. I installed Windows on a 2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch for my girlfriend which runs a lot faster with Windows then any Windows notebook from that time and over time there is always the issue that Windows will start to run slower. And she can't figure out how macOS works which is a lot easier to use than Windows IMHO. But Windows users are so stuck in the Windows way of working that they can't figure out how to work with macOS. I can do both but i ditched Windows years ago. Because despite all the Apple bashing Windows still sucks when you use it over a longer period of time. It gets slower. And macOS just does not. So every manufacturer be it hardware or software has faults. Not only Apple but also HP, Samsung, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, etcetera. And some of these companies also lack in warranty and service.
When they start manufacturing quantities in the millions, there must be some kind of cap or curve that shows what percentage of these products will fail over time or in specific parts. My guess is both PC and APPLE are obligated to a kind of CHAOS function that results in failures at a certain percentage. You make billions of M&Ms and maybe ther'll ba a percent of packets with all geens, all reds etc., and all else ok. But with pcs and macs, with thousands of parts (thousands of m&ms in one machine, that failure rate soon appears). I've used APPLE since the original mactintosh. Only recently since 2017, have I started seeing these types of failures. My next machine will be a Dell or Lenovo? and will compare. While traveling in Asia, I dropped my iphone 7 on cobblestone in the RP, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF sidewalk repair setups for pc's, cellphones, gaming hardware in the philippines. Took my iphone there asked for a price, $25 to replace screen 3rd party, $45 for new Apple screen. Not bad I thought and I didn't bargain. Iphone still works. My Huawei is also still solid, but Android sucks is all I can say about that.
I'm not technological-wizard, but I used to be really into computer hardware. I built my own PC, and have a pretty good understanding of specs. I've despised Apple for years now. I wish I could remember which laptop it was specifically, but I remember looking at one of their computers that was made in 2017, sold for over $2,000, and the thing had specs equivalent to a cheap smartphone. I'm talking 4G of ram, and this absolutely terrible dual core processer. It was in that moment that I truly grasped just how fucking awful they are. Selling what's essentially a $300 computer for the price of a used car.
My 2013 MacBook air 11” has those same specs :/ Needless to say, I’ve been planning on switching to pc once I have the money. (The laptop was a Christmas present several years ago)
Kasai i dont know my sister has a macbook air from the 13 or 14 and it might not be a beast but it is very durable. We fling that thing across the room and nothing would happen to it.On the other hand, I got a hand me down iphone 7 and that shit is flimsy and unreliable.
No Name for most people, the audio fizzles out after a while because some audio chip got loose. The problem happens to a lot of these iphone 7s so as far as apple products go; the iphone 7 and 7 plus aren’t reliable.
The worst part of all of this is not Apple's faulty designs or engineering errors, not even the way they treat their customers, late recalls and GPU warranty fixes only if the machine boots, but the fact that other companies are copying both the shitty designs and the shitty behaviour of Apple, spreading the cancer across the whole consumer electronic product segments. No EOM spares, no recalls, and a "it should last only 2 years" mentality. Apple is dangerous for us repairers and for all the segment everywhere. Support the right to repair. Support freedoom.
Exactly, and to go even further: Every industry, even before Apple was around, takes advantage of the system they run on. Freedom of choice is always there, but the obstacles to get started or even survive with a new/competing product are stifling (cable industry comes to mind). We can pass the blame around to whomever, the point is there is always this problem, and I'm with Louis about looking into solutions. Not just for consumer electronics, but business- and customer-handling as a whole.
The new XPS from Dell are designs rip off of Dell and are actually better XD However, no matter how much you prove, you come out with fact, you do whatever logics you want, the power of Apple's marketing and brand will always shade this. Making people think they have the best product is more powerful than having the best product overall. And I agree with you and since I, being myself an independent technician, refused to work on Apple products my life has got easier.
Luckily, certain countries (like Norway) have laws that protect customers from the "it should last only 2 years" mentality (to a certain degree) Here's a direct excerpt from The Consumer Purchases Act in Norway: "If an item is defective, the consumer must, within a reasonable period of time after he or she discovered or should have discovered the defect, notify the seller that he or she intends to submit a formal complaint with respect thereto. The deadline for submitting a complaint can never be shorter than two months from the point at which the consumer discovered the defect. Any complaint must be submitted no later than two years after the consumer took possession of the item. If, when in normal use, the item or any part thereof is meant to last substantially longer, the deadline for submitting a complaint is five years. This does not apply as long as the seller, by means of a guarantee or other agreement, has assumed liability for defects over a longer period." Phones and laptops are actually examples of items that are meant to last longer than two years. So you have 5 years protection against defects (like some of those Rossmann mentioned in the video) I think that's pretty awesome.
Thankfully we can build our own PCs so at least Windows/Linux users don't have to put up with shitty company policies. And if you can afford an expensive laptop, then you have the option of getting a customisable Clevo laptop (or equivalent) from a reputable computer store.
To be clear, none of that are faulty product, error, or mistake. All of that are feature, feature whose sole purpose is to make more money for stakeholder. And it work beautifully.
Lol only apple could sell a product with a fatal flaw and call it a feature. I know your just making fun of them but honestly they could probably legitimatelly tell people its a feature and they would buy it knowing its going to break and tell all their friends "its just a feature" lol.
Per Karlsson I think you have your time off a little bit, I think you mean 10+ months, unlike many competitors that last around an average of 5 years based on either user error, the screen hinges breaking, or just simply becoming outdated.
I trust Louis Rossmann and Linus Tech Tips, It is great that you have had a good user experience and your devices are still fine I am truely happy for you but I'll never get one based off the vast majority of poor owner experiences both from what I have read and seen online via credible sources like LTT and LR but also from friends and their experiences. All of my friends that once were Apple fanatics have since moved to Android and Windows based products many years ago. Usually just 1 owner experience is all it took them to make the switch. There is no reason for Apple to make their batteries "non replaceable" at all other than to intentionally make the product performance decline so you buy a new phone. Just a small example of their b.s. they pull.
I'm 32 and I won't own another crapple product .I had one iPhone 5 for a few years and I hated how limited it was in so many areas... especially the fixed storage...I hated it.
38, same here. Forget about the overpricing or the cringe hype, to me it was enough that the music you put on the ipod was locked for me to despise the sheep around me who thought that was acceptable. My thought at 16: You don't want me to use you, do you? Ok then I won't, I like my stuff to be useful.
I am an independent service tech and have been for over 20 years making quality repairs and servicing desktops and laptops of various brands EXCEPT Apple. I do not live in an area that is host to a large number of video or graphics professionals who woefully depend upon these devices to meet deadlines and earn a living. I totally agree with your points that not only are the Apple laptop devices designed with obsolescence in mind but also serviceability locked to Apple certified technical staff (and OEM replacement parts). Therefore I refer any potential Apple clients back to Apple for repairs or suggest a different brand that is serviceable from an economical and open source bin of OEM replacement parts. I can tell from your free videos that you have a genuine concern for your clients and will make a reliable repair to get these people back to their vocation and for that I take my hat off to you. Yes, even at my ripe old age, 65+ now, I learn from your experiences. You qualify your distrust of Apple with facts not just negative rhetoric. Keep up the good work Louis Rossmann, the world needs more people like you!
Except he's wrong and presents distorted facts to fit his narrative. Apple devices have the lowest average failure rates in the industry and are supported for the longest with software updates. Thus they have the highest 2nd hand resale value. Enjoy.
@@AndyMilne The iphone 6 had a higher failure rate than even the cheapo alcatel line, which would be covered by even Walmart warranty. So, that's money back or in-store credit. Several laptops boast way more features than the macbooks, beating them in every single aspect, aside from smaller touch pads, with much lower failure rates(see toshiba and asus) at a fraction of the cost! If something went wrong (which obviously was rare), you could exchange them if it was within usually 2 years. No scams, no fuss! So, average price range, average warranty, average failure rates kinda puts them in the area of scammy but that's okay, you gotta climb over people to get to the top.
*kauan yamaguti* "others prefer what works!" - So these wrecked machines _looking like_ Apples aren't _actually_ Apples. Is that what you are saying? Are you sure you _know_ what a 'life' is?
Still having issues with my iphone x after it's been 'repaired' at apple. Random, very rapid 'ghost touches' all over the screen as well as not responding until I forcefully press at the very bottom of the screen. Guess I didn't learn from when my 2012 macbook pro used to burn my wrist when typing...
I am so happy to live in The Netherlands, where you can actually legally hold a company liable on an individual basis instead of class action suits. We just have a law that requires vendors to replace/repair a part/product if the initial cost of it, suggests a certain longevity.
Okay, but consumers end up paying for those costs. I’m guessing computers are far more expensive in the Netherlands than the U.S. The manufacturers and retailers just spread out the costs into higher computer prices.
The Chillmaster That is true, but even still. When a reviewer gets a pair of beats headphones, they almost always say it has that "beats sound" (not really a good thing, but it might suit some people's taste) and they recommend to be careful with them since the headphone band can't bend much. In my opinion, beats still need a hardware redesign/boost.
Quality is not bad (I've got Beats solo) but they definitely overpriced. No microphone (they're not full headset) it's something they do not advertise. It just uncomfortable when somebody is calling...
The Chillmaster they only got better because as time passes,audio quality gets better. Not because Apple is any good. Any company's headphones get better sound quality for the price as time passes.
Yep, that's that we called it at my various jobs....trash can Macs. It was probably one of the worst designs for a computer. In a professional rack mount environment, you can imagine how the trash can Mac would fit in or wouldn't ...and it didn't. We had to sit them on rack mount shelves, taking up much more room in the rack then it should. Had to design/get... custom made rack mount hardware for them, sometimes. This is what I thought and said when they came out first...what was Apple thinking when they conjured up this design? The rest of Apple product lines through out the years were never a cup of my tea anyway....design and reliability -wise. They are totally out of the server business now...remember the X-Serve?
Thanks, Lous... just took my Mac back the second time for repair. My wife: "Why don't you just buy a PC at Costco?". Me: "But I love my Mac!" Then I saw your videos, and my cult mentality became apparent.
Jeff Zekas, Apple are absolute Masters at “creating a Hype” for their products, and making people Believe in their products. Unfortunately the products don’t live up to the hype that they created in the first place. And don’t forget, Apple are just Marketing specialists, they don’t even produce their own products... they are just Awesome at Marketing, otherwise known as “the blah-Deeh-blah”
@@kazhilly Dude, What a crock. Apple designs their own motherboards and chips if necessary. They get consistently good reviews and performance ratings by the labs that do that kind of analyses. Apple's computer advertising budget is less than Dells, most of it is word of mouth, because most apple users are happy customers. Dude, get your GED and get a clue!
Get a decent PC and put a Linux distro that you like on it. There are some where the desktop simulates the crabapple look. Their OS is based on a linux kernel that nowadays runs on X64 hardware.
El Kiddo you clearly did not watch this entire video, and you clearly are another victim of Apple’s marketing. But hey, Thanks for the advice here, how nice to be told off by a “Kiddo”, that really adds further value to my life. You don’t have to believe me and it’s Fine if you don’t, but I know a few more things than you do about Apple as a business. Enough said.

Apple Inc. is an American multinationaltechnology company headquartered in Cupertino, California, that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services. Wikipedia
Apple makes a great operating system. The best part of Apple is that it’s based off of Unix. For a closer version of Unix install home brew. One of the things I truly love about Apple is mission control. I’ve tried Windows task viewer and I really don’t like it with dual monitors. I still don’t like their hardware and I’m still using a Mac mini 2011 and a MacBook Pro 2012 because I don’t like their soldered ram or soldered SSD. They could have easily upgraded the removable ram on the Mac mini to potential 64 gigs of ram and kept the two bays for 2.5 inch drives or added m.2 SSD dockets, but no they want to make their machines in fixable so if the ram or ssd go back a whole logic board has to be replaced. The best Macs are the hackintosh ones, although there days maybe numbered with the ARM processor design.
Apple doesn't make thier own OS. OSX and iOS are based on FreeBSD. It's a split of the code that they keep updating with new features as FreeBSD releases them then drops their own features on top of. They write a pretty wrapper for it and add in some proprietary stuff on top. The core OS, Apple has never written. Just get that out of your head right now. Apple hasn't written an OS in decades. What Apple creates are what Linux people would call Distributions. A lot of the big under the hood advances come from FreeBSD, not Apple. Here's the real kicker though. All those proprietary Apple connections. Apple HAD to write those themselves. FreeBSD comes out of the box with support for all the industry standards. To create all those things Apple had to set out with the goal of not using standards they already had all the work done for them on and decide to create those proprietary Apple products just to screw customers. It gets worse. Apple purposely removed shell access from the consumer so consumers could not go in and reenable FreeBSD features Apple didn't want them to have. Say what you want about Microsoft. They've expanded shell access. Apple straight up removes it.
@@halycon404 No wonder why homebrew is so popular. Yeah I definitely need to play more with Powershell on Windows. If windows could only something better for dual monitors like apple does mission control I think I would use windows more. I would love for microsoft and Linux to beat Apple. I haven't played with FreeBSD except of course the little bit on Apple. I have played with the Raspberry Pi 4 for of Debian Im not sure how that compares to Debian. One of the great things about Linux is that you can run it on practically any hardware. There is no you have to get a new phone or a new computer with pure Linux.
@@jonny777bike Android is based on Linux. There's a low spec mode to turn off all the pretty graphical party tricks and some of the bells and whistles. In which case it runs on anything, it's also more stable than the full feature version we use. For pure usability us rich folks chasing the newest and best phones get the worst version. There's a reason Android phones pretty much have 90% of the global market. Apple is only a concern in the richest countries. There's entire continents where Apple is less than 1%. Globally Google and Microsoft won the consumer space, it isn't even close. And Linux won in server space, even Microsoft runs a lot of its infrastructure on Linux.
years ago i had a girlfriend who got me a iphone for my birthday. I needed a new phone, i broke mine a few days before.. She is no longer my girlfriend.
My only Apple product is an iPod that I got as a gift like 6-7 years ago. And it already had at least 2 owners before me. It still works fine, aside from the "adjust volume" buttons on the side not working anymore and the "power" button needs to be pressed hard for it to work. Screen is shattered but still works (dropped it around a million times over the years). So all in all, that's pretty good for a portable device. My android phone only lasted 2 years before I dropped it one too many times and it stopped turning on. But still, the android had so much better functionality. I could use it as usb drive, I could easily put in and switch SD cards, installing apps was easier, putting music (or movies or any media) onto it didn't require a program (iTunes), and putting music (or again movies etc...) didn't require you to have an exact copy of your library on your PC (otherwise the missing files from your pc will also be deleted from your iPod for some fucking reason), I could take out the back panel without ease, while the iPod can't be taken apart, the iPod has this stupid Apple USB cable that isn't standard for any other company (and more expensive too), while I had around 10 other cables in my home for my android phone that I could use to charge it or connect it to my pc.... I could go on forever but you get the point.... it just sucks that Apple devices don't have these features which are standard for any other device on the market.....
Same here, never owned an Apple product and i am pissed for a good reason. Apple jacks up the prices, and the rest do the same. So Apple screws over everybody, even non-Apple sheep.
People have simply become stupid and lost their ability to think critically.

I was attending a 4 year university for some classes, had just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, was playing Turtles 4 on a Super Nintendo emulator, as well as the four player X-men arcade game with a friend and I using 2 Xbox one controllers. Classmates were mesmerized asking me how I was able to get my phone to do that. I had to explain emulators, the Xbox controller drivers for Android, what a file manager is, etc. I am 40 and these were 18-21 year old kids. One asked me how he could get his phone to do that as he had an iPhone, I took great pleasure (in a nice way) of explaining why I despise Apple...fuck Apple!!!
This is truly an age of chosing which company would you like to be screwed with. You put your faith in one company hoping they don't screw you up that bad compared to other companies
I was planning to buy iphone 16, but now I should reconsider it, because after every new release, apple intentionally make it worse for the older ones when it comes to battery and overall performance.
Imagine having to repair an unrepairable phone, that has no customization and isn't even that cool to look at -This post was made by the cheap android gang (Moto G8 Play best phone in Brazil lol)

You forgot the iPhone slow down scandal. After they got sued, they released an update for my 6S and the phone suddenly started being fast again after months of random shut downs and touch screen malfunctioning. Edit: I should also mention that my Antutu benchmark score rose from 76000 to 110000 after the update (which is still worse than my initial score of 134000 when the phone was newer)
I mean my 6 was slower with the original battery in it. I tried turning off the battery protection and it would shut off around 15-20%. I get why they did it but they should have told people they were doing it.
Not only Antutu score has doubled in like 2015. Geekbench has also increased iPhone scores with newer versions. Compare Geekbench 2 to Geekbench 3 and 4 with same devices, and you'll be very surprised.
If you bought this iphone 6 on release date or the same year I still cannot see how this battery could be so horrible. Why they didnt just offer to replace batteries or allow users to replace them is still absurd. Throttling your phones performance because they lock you from changing your battery to me is BS which is why I still only buy phones with removal backing to have the option to replace your battery. Can you imagine if car companies did this? You would be screwed WOW!!
Even though I've been buying Apple products since 2007: MacBook Pro, 2 Mac Pros (cheese grater and trash can), 2 iPhones including 12 Pro Max, 3 iPads (2 iPad Pros including M1 iPad Pro) AirPods Pro, iPod, large monitor, bluetooth keyboard, dongle/adaptors, etc., ... the only malfunction I've had with any of these devices so far is the battery on the 2007 MacBook Pro expanded and Apple replaced it for free immediately. But I watch your videos anyway because you are so damned entertaining and persuasive ... even though all my brand new and 'antique' Apple products are all still working perfectly ... your videos make me almost believe that everyone's Apple products must be malfunctioning on a massive scale ... I guess I'm the only lucky one 🍀 🍀 🍀 😃
I'm still running iOS 8-point-something on my 5s specifically for that reason, if I could have it my way I'd still be on iOS 7. This phone will last me forever if I never update it.
Anyone else listen to rants like this from Louis Rossman and pretend its a bedtime story. Its so satisfying hearing apple get roasted more than their own graphics chips, it helps me sleep.

Just like the phone slow down because of batteries and bricking phones with replacement screens. They make their products obsolete long before they should be.
lacucaracha111111 true but considering how much cash Apple has I highly doubt that they didn't notice any of these problems while in testing, the only answer is that they purposefully let this stay.
Erick J. An Android phone keeps getting updates from the company that made it for 3-4 years, which I admit is less then Apples phones but considering how big the Android community is you can install the new version of Android if you want.

Been laughing at Apple products for decades. I have always liked to build my own pcs, so seeing the price tags on apple for worse specs always made me cringe.
Ditto. I've been building my own PC'S for more than 20 years. If something goes bad, I can easily repair it. With Apple, that often not easy or possible.
your point is partially correct and partially wrong to be honest. specs arent everything. the specs argument has also become quite dull lately, but then again its not too wrong, just enough for me to complain about it.
@@petrosdimitriospilichos9195 specs define the pc's price. Yes they are important. No Apple is not giving enough specs to justify their pc's prices. Fuck apple.
@@petrosdimitriospilichos9195 @Cotonee "Specs aren't everything" What you said might be favorable for iOS vs android, (still not true, since apple's phone processors are literally a better "spec") but is actually the opposite for PC's. Mac OS isn't optimized for anything, it is written in a similar way to every other desktop operating system. It has been proven to have lower graphics and battery performance than windows running the same hardware. Apple just uses Intel CPUs - and they kept changing their CPUs too, so they have never optimized properly, and still suck at gaming. Now they're switching, again. Despite Windows' inconsistencies, it's actually written to be perform
Ok how do you screw up a sata cable its just aluminium or copper if they pony up the price, To be honest the only way to screw up a data cable is to infuse plastic and metal or some cheap alloys like how do you do that, YOU HAVE TO THINK DIFFRENT.
> how do you screw up a sata cable In short, crap cables have bad signal integrity which matters immensely when carrying 6 Gb/s signals. The whole of each bit on the wire is just 166 million millionths of a second long. Any kinks, inconsistencies and other crap can cause signal reflections and distortions which destroy the signal. Even a single bit obliterated by noise of any sort (of which there is an abundance inside a computer) is enough to cause transfers to fail. That's why they're shielded differential pairs, which means each pair has to be matched. It's not like wiring up a light or even old school USB. Quality matters, and quality costs. Apparently, Apple charge for quality, buy cheap and pocket the difference. Maybe that's why they're worth $900bn. (Profitability and share buy-backs help too, of course.)
You need to get the Impedance correct and make sure whoever's making it doesn't change anything to make themselves more money. You also need to be careful with crosstalk. The Insertion Loss (what you lose by adding something to the signal path) on SATA is (kinda stupidly) low so you also need to make sure you don't eat too much of that. Of course most people are "hey, it seems to work, let's ship" as that's the PC way, alas.
I know someone who is an apple fanboy and just recently bought was I think was the newest macbook for almost $2000. At first I didnt know he was a fanboy and offered to help him find a laptop/gaming laptop that can quintuple its usefulness and power. He straight up told me that he doesnt need all that because the only thing he does online is browse the internet, I just died inside.
I remember looking at old Apple product testing where a half melted se30 still worked perfectly. It looked like half melted butter and still worked. Those days are clearly behind us.
Yes. They're computers for people who don't really need computers. The ad campaign with the Mac and PC Guys was explicitly classist, and positioned Apple as a luxury brand rather than a producer of useful products.
@@pkunkbwok Actually, that's not always the case. I am a PC guy myself. I dislike Apple products, but my mom loves them a lot. She's got, an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac. She uses the latter when she needs to work while traveling, as it is pretty light. She says that that is the main reason why she uses a Mac for this. Also, guess who gets stuck with troubleshooting an unfamiliar system when something goes wrong?
@@interlamer7480 thats my life in a nutshell, except they dont just have apple devices, they sometimes screw up good devices by falling for stupid *U won 10k* shits that appears on random websites. And when it comes to their iphones, i always say, "I own an android tablet, A TABLET, thats a phone, im never familiar with iphones so i cant fix it dead ass"
If you work as graphic artist (like me) it's ridiculous how many people still INSIST that you must use a mac because "you can't do graphics on PC".. and when i tell them that i have the exact same adobe software as they have on mac they tell me that it's "much better" on mac because the performance is much better there. And the interface is "better designed". And when i show them benchmarks that my photoshop is faster on PC than on their expensive mac and remind them that the interface is the same on both plattforms they tell me that macs have better monitors and you can't do graphics on a shitty monitor that has "wrong colors". And when i tell them that actually the best monitors aren't from apple but Eizo, Asus or Acer (right now) they usually just tell me to fuck off, that i'm an "ignorant fanboy" and i just can't value good design. You can't win with facts against the will to believe.
When a month ago I was looking for a laptop(I'm a digital artist) people kept telling me"You need a Mac!!!111!". Like I'm gonna be retarded enough to waiste 2k$ on a shitty machine with a laughable hardware and a display that needs another 150$ device to be calibrated before being good enough to be used. I need the laptop to work and play games, not to show it off in coffee shops lol
It's not the manufacture of a monitor that determines the 'correctness' of the color, it's the calibration that determines that. The monitors at the graphical department of my workplace, while from a cheap source, have good color-reproduction due to being calibrated with printing-press color reference sheets instead of relying on the (never accurate) factory settings.
The thing you have to remember is that most (if not all) millennials were raised on Apple and Apple products. In grade schools, then high schools, etc. And they seriously believe that Apple is the best. Maybe someday they'll wake up to the fact that they've been paying out too much money for over-priced, over-hyped, and under-performing devices, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon.
well that's psychology. if you pay a huge amount for a luxury product, it has to be good. one can't admit, that he spent so much money for crap. so it's easier to defend the decision
They made experiences about this. Take two identical products. Put the price of one low, the other high. People will automatically assume the high price product to be better and worthwhile and would buy this one if they have the money.
@Emily Pace Every company produces *profitable*, not every company intentionally uses crap materials to milk you, not every company wants to screw you over, to become a trillion $ company. Only the worst, the few, the different.
@Emily Pace good luck getting it repaired, look at Linus Tech Tips and Snazzy Labs for examples of what you can expect. To be fair, you aren't nearly famous enough to get the service that they got. I'll stick to my modular PC (which as a qualified tech I can repair myself) and an android phone that I can have repaired or replaced locally (had an issue once) and I did have one instance where I had a Sony flagship replaced within the day (in a backwards country like South Africa) I geuss it is a matter of preference. You should get what you pay for. I do agree that some of the products that reach the end user has issues that were not picked up during quality checks. THE FACT IS THOUGH: IF THAT IS THE CASE IT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE PROCESS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED. Intelligent people vote with their money (IE. Stop buying from companies that sell shit)
I started a Mac upgrade and repair business in 1985 in Berkeley, CA with my brother and a mutual friend (I was one of the first non-Apple repair people to start fixing the original Macs a few days after their one-year warranties began to expire), and almost from the start, I began seeing many of the same problems described in the video. I had to fix a lot of Apple's design and poor choice of parts problems, and I had to deal with Apple's lack of cooperation with independent repair and upgrade companies. I dealt with these problems the entire time I repaired Macs until I closed up shop in 2008, which is where this video picks up the history, showing that may of the same issues continued. I've seen figures over the years indicating that Apple products, on average (for whatever that's worth), fail somewhat less often than those from most other manufacturers, and that more people are satisfied with Apple's repair efforts than with those by some other companies, but that doesn't excuse the huge raft of unforced design, assembly, and poor choice of parts errors (deliberate or not) by Apple over the years, and it especially doesn't excuse Apple's frequent hassling, seemingly at random, of many people attempting to get their hardware repaired. While most people have a good experience when they need Apple to do a repair, with some people even getting newer-model hardware, at no cost, in exchange for their older damaged hardware, some people report some of the most bizarre nonsense they've been put through--pointless repeated repair attempts before Apple will allow a proper repair to be done, etc. Apple's performance has been oddly inconsistent. This can often be chalked up to differences in skills by different Apple employees, but much of the weird inconsistency originates at Apple. One of the things that particularly irked me was Apple's practice of claiming that a problem you would call in to report to them was an "unknown problem" even when the problem was being seen by hundreds or thousands of other people, and had been the subject of online discussions and articles for some time. Apple has long engaged in the practice of frequently replacing parts (mainly logic boards, in my experience) that have design and production flaws, with parts that have the same design and production flaws since they were made in the same production runs, and so many of those parts eventually fail too, often pretty quickly after they've been installed. It seems that Apple often wants to use up its existing inventory of repair parts, even if those parts were made at the same time as the bad parts that went into finished products, before it will make a revised batch of parts for repair inventory and finished products. Powerbook display hinges were among the worst annoyances. I have no idea why for about ten years, Apple designed major parts of the hinges out of plastic that not only wasn't very strong, but also had stress points--sharp angles and corners--where force applied to the hinges over time, as the display was opened and closed numerous times, was focused and eventually caused cracks at these points. With the Powerbook G4, though most of the hinge parts were finally made of metal, only the right-side hinge (as viewed from the front), on earlier models, was screwed entirely to metal support pieces--the left hinge was screwed into the rear of the plastic border that wrapped around the vertical sides of the top case, and this plastic often eventually broke at a narrow point near the hinge (which seemed like a deliberate stress point to me), leaving you with a bad hinge. Sometimes even the L-shaped aluminum pieces that were the main connection between the hinges and the display housing would break, as if they (and some of the Powerbook G4's other metal pieces) were made out of some cheap kind of "pot aluminum". Also with some of the Powerbook G4 models, Apple introduced the stupid practice of gluing the display bezel to the display's top cover, requiring repairs to almost anything inside the display housing to be preceded by using a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the glue so you could take the housing apart, while you worried about whether the heat was going to cook the display. But I'll also add that since 1985, I've had numerous Mac desktops and laptops, an original iPhone, an iPhone 3GS, an iPhone 4s, and now an iPhone 6s, and the only Apple products that have failed on me were two or three Powerbook G3's, which seemed to develop various logic board problems. So, people's experiences vary. The bottom line is that Apple has too many unforced errors in their designs and build quality over the years, and in how they handle many repairs, which they could have easily avoided by just not making obvious mistakes and not embracing the form of planned obsolescence that involves designing and building things so that they break.
Maybe they make the products purposely weak so you extend your warranty and then extend it for every product you buy from them because your thinking will go like this "hmm should I extend my warranty?I mean I broke my Mac in the past so I probably should"
the only fail I personally experienced was having a faulty battery on my iphone 6S, luckily it was under warranty, so they just replaced it with no cost to me
I will never understand why people buy Apple products. I've been using PC since around 2004, and yes, some of computers I've bought have been terrible. But the beauty of PC is that for desktops (and certain laptops) you can just replace whatever sucks because the unit is basically just a shell. And if you don't like the Windows operating system you can replace that too, just switch to Linux. Hell, you can even run macOS on a PC if you're so inclined.

In early 2015 Apple's newest software update BRICKED my phone, and when I took it in to get it repaired, not only did they FORGET I was there after I had been forced to make an APPOINTMENT and had reminded them I was there multiple times over the HOUR that I had to sit there (they literally were closing the store, turning off the lights with me being the ONLY PERSON still sitting there in the MIDDLE OF THE STORE), but when I called someone over, he said they needed to run tests on it. I told him I'd already tried taking it to a 3rd party repair shop and knew what the issue was because it was fairly widespread, but he said company policy required that they run a test via the phone. I told him the phone wouldn't turn on, and he insisted that they had to run the test on it. 15 minutes later he comes back and says that they can't run the test on the phone because it won't power on (he said this as if I wasn't aware of that), and that because they can't run the test, they won't be able to do anything to fix it. I didn't even have the option to PAY to get it repaired. He said I would just have to buy a new phone. I asked to speak to the manager, he said the manager had already left because the store was closed. He acted like I had shown up at the last second unannounced, as opposed to, you know, sitting there for over an hour with my thumb up my ass trying to get help. I looked him in the face and said "what you're telling me right now is that BECAUSE the phone is broken, your policy PREVENTS you from fixing it. Does that make any sense to you?" He replied "if you want to buy a new phone now, I can take $20 off of an otter box case because you had to wait a little bit longer (yes, he had the BALLS to say "a little bit longer") but that's about the best I can do."
I looked him dead in the face and said "No thanks, I'll just get an Android."
It's been 5 years and I've never once looked back. Android. For. Life.
Good on you for having the courage to say that.
Cool story. Fuck Apple
Lets fucking go, yessir!
@@Pigninjius Honestly it was more like blind rage than courage.
I had the exact same experience as you at apple store and like you i went to samsong but about a year later the phone didn't want to charge so went back to the store kind of upset but the saleman said it couldn't be fixt so he just give me a new one
I grew up using Apple's products. Through high school I was that kid arguing with my friends over mac vs. windows. Now in my 30's, I switched to windows three years ago and haven't looked back. Thanks for telling it like it is.
S4nari I had a similar arguments of Motorola vs Apple. I miss my little flip phone Motorola. That sucker lasted me 3 years and still worked like brand new, despite being thrown, dropped, and rough handled.
I'd settle for macOS (A certified UNIX operating system) over Windows any-day of the week. Thankfully, I can build a Hackintosh and run macOS on decent hardware. Apple really needs to correct its hardware path.
Agreed.
Apple use to be great machines. I have such fond memories of my Apple II. But that Apple is long gone.
@Evi1M4chine These are all the apple hardware products I've ever used: Macintosh Plus, Macintosh II, iBook, first-generation iPod, Original iMac, Power Mac G4, PowerBook G4 12", iPod touch, MacBook Air, Ipad, Macbook Pro, Mac Pro, ipod Nano, Iphone 6, Ipad Pro. Not listed here is the multitude of mac only software that went along with these machines including things like Final Cut Pro. So yeah, I have experience with their products, both currently and throughout the companies history. Nothing in my comment would suggest that I confuse software and hardware, I've used it all since the late 80's. The pricing of their products are not justified by the return of any extra processing power or availability of exclusive software. Also, being able to run one OS on the other machine is irrelevant.
remember when Apple's slogan was "does more, costs less"?
More like the opposite
@@marinap5345 yep costs more does less and lasts half as long
No lol
Lmao wtf time has really changed that

Many Apple flaws are there because management refuses to believe that a perfect company could possibly have a flawed product - you know. a cult. When I was working at Apple I found an obvious flaw and a simple fix for the iMac-7 fan control problem. It was huge electrical noise emissions from a poorly designed power supply distorting data on a nearby cable. "You're wrong. We have good power supplies" my boss said, totally ignoring the facts and evidence which I had found. I left that goofy place soon after. iMac-7 went into production, then all I read in user reviews were complaints about the fan.
Not my problem anymore.
Ur boss was just sucking his bosses dick. Don't take it personally. That's how it works in corporations. Its one big dick sucking fest
Now this is quality content
Unlike apple's.
Andre Gon oof
the type of content Apple haters fap too.
‘Cheaply built’ ok, like my lovely plastic dell which shredded my DVD while I typed on it because there was no material between the keyboard and the optic drive. Your argument seems to be simply that Apple products are flawed, and it takes longer than seems necessary to amend the design flaws. I feel your pain, but honestly, I find this is just a growing trend, electronics are today’s version of expensive disposable cameras. Dell, HP, Apple, Samsung. All very flawed and designed to fail. They want you to buy a new one in 2-3 years. And... honestly, by then you wouldn’t really want to still be using the machine as it will be reliant on what is now outdated tech. If you analyze the circuits in any modern product, you will find many flaws. At the end of the day, there has to be such a thing as ‘good enough to ship’. They can’t spend 5 years designing and perfecting the next model, they come out every 6 months anymore. I work in IT, and I know as well as you do; if none of this stuff ever broke down, we wouldn’t have a job. Under HEAVY use, I literally EXPECT failure:
Monitors max 5 years
Mouse/keyboard 1 year
Desktop 2-3 years
Laptop 1.5 years major repair, 3 years salvage/dead
Hard drive 2 years tops
SSD 2-3 years maybe
Bottom line is unless you are babying machines, they will break simply from use and wear. In a busy work environment, the data and continued productivity is crucial and downtime or lack of machines far outweighs the comparably small size of doing some repairs or even replacing a batch of machines. Perfect machines that never fail just wont happen.
thejpkotor Dell is the only manufacturer worst than Apple. Get yourself a quality Asus laptop. I still have one running strong since 2010. The battery died sometime ago but that’s expected.
In Norway we have 5 year warranty (Its called "reklamasjonsrett" ,and it gives the consumer a lot of power). Exception is battery. They have 3 years of reklamasjonsrett.
Can take the case to a govermental agency if the store/brand does not want to comply. Works pretty well, and Apple has lost a ton of cases this way.
If they Lie about product, or have made it with fault you have right to money back, FREE fix or some compensation.

👉 Apple sues iPhone screen repair shop for screen refurbishing and loses. ruclips.net/video/oNl2q6YZXlA/видео.html In addition to being technically terrible, Apple is also morally terrible.
There is a typo under your description. Also, would you open to discuss the alternatives for engineering workstations? Since Lenovo always run weird promo periods throughout the years, it's really hard to decide if it is the best for most of us. Thanks a lot in advanced.
Louis Rossmann my good fellow friend, in response to your question towards the end you are bang on ,it's despicable behaviour from a firm that solely relay on the fan boy cult to getaway with such poor craftsmanship, people need to wake up and spend their hard earned money where it is justified to do so unlike this crap apple presents .
You run a channel that hate bashes Apple and you say your a repair technician? If you're not repairing Mac's cos you hate them so much what are you repairing? Other products made by other companies that do EXACTLY the same shit that Apple do just they aren't as big? I'm not defending Apple I'm a Windows boy at heart (despite the fact I fucking hate Windows), but If I'm being honest, I've had to replace 3 Windows laptops in the past year and constantly have problems with my Asus motherboards connections, had to RMA 2 gtx 1070's till I got a working one AND have a £240 Dell screen that got a dead pixel in 6 months. I loved all of these products truly, when they break I rush to repair or replace them I've had 2 android phones a htc and a samsung both disintegrated after 2 years. I've had the same iphone and macbook pro kicking around (which I use regularly) and not a problem in 7 years. Do I think they are the holy grail of technology? No but other companies are making the same shit charging the same shit and of lesser quality (looking at you samsung). I think it would be in your interest to bash ALL of these trash bag companies, cos if you got your wish and Apple disappears, you'll have no content on your channel anymore. You should probably diversify.
Samsung's do cost an arm and a leg to repair and other companies do deny repairs if you ignore tos.
Samsung refused to repair my Galaxy S4 back in the day. They said it was water damaged. It was just in my pocket when it rained. yay.
That actually makes sense. My dad's Macbook was under warranty for this graphics issue, and got a replacement board but failed a few months later
As an electronic design engineer I was looking at Apple in 1976 when they introduced the Apple 1 computer. I thought then it was a product that had potential but was poorly designed. My problem with Apple even then was their business practices and the way they treat their customers. They have a reputation for screwing their customers with high prices and producing products with a built-in limited life span and are also closed systems to make you buy the next generation of product from them when the product dies or becomes obsolete. People that continue to buy Apple products are just crazy people with no understanding of electronics. Even when screwed by Apple they just continue to buy their crap for extremely high prices. I don't understand their thinking but it is their money to spend any way they like. I refuse to ever buy an Apple product from 1976 till today.
So...43 years ago..in the absolute infancy of personal computers, you thought that the Apple 1 computer had potential but was poorly designed? You were one of the people that was able to get your hands on one of the 200 units made and critiqued its design? What experience did you have in personal computing did you have at this time? Or..did you just look at a picture of the machine? "People that continue to buy Apple products are just crazy people with no understanding of electronics." LMAO. Is that your statement? Funny..most people buy these devices because they don't..and don't want to understand electronics. They just want a device that works smoothly. They want to turn it on and use it. Which is exactly what Apple provides. This is why people keep buying Apple products...I don't understand how you can have any idea what it is like to own an apple product if you never have had one? How did you know how they treat their customers? I will tell you this. When my son was in college we offered to buy him a mac desktop..he wanted a PC. We advised against it but he insisted he wanted a PC. We bought him a Dell Inspiron. As far as I could tell he never had a problem with the hardware..but he was constantly dealing with malware and virus's. People are willing to pay more for a product that works. Back in the day I had a Dell, Packard Bell and IBM desktops. I liked them at the time. After I bought my first iMac I was hooked. Everything just worked flawlessly. No virus's no problems. I have had 2 iMacs, 3 ipads, 5 iphones, apple TV, apple watch, two macbook pros, ipods, ipod shuffle and a time capsule. The only problems I had were..the first iMac, hard drive failed after 9 years. Apple replaced it at the Apple store for just the cost of the part. My time capsule had multiple hard drive failures. Great product idea but I had a lot of problems with it. See, unlike you I don't care what anyone else buys..I buy what works for me. According to your summation you make me out to a crazy person. Why? Again, if you have never bought an Apple product how can you tell people what that experience is like? So..people that buy PC's and Android products understand electronics and aren't crazy? lol. You see, I can only tell you about my experiences. You talk about products having a built in limited life span? What consumer electronics product doesn't? One last point...everyone that has a smartphone now has more information on it than at home. With that being said, Android is so far below Apple in data safety it is not even in the same universe. Which is part of the reason the android platform is much more customizable. I still get a kick out of reading that you don't like the way Apple treats there customers..lol...saying that and NEVER having owned an Apple product. So..you just read what other people say and make it gospel? BTW..I was 16 in 1976..how old were you?
@@kevinshea5819 are you criticizing an electronic engineer? I can't stop laughing, a simple customer who says at an engineer how he should see things/products with a critical eye... You wrote something unreadable for how long It Is, just to say to an engineer "you didn't have the instruments to see the product properly", well guess what, you surely don't have and Will never have the critical eye the engineers have 'cause you don't want to criticize what you have a feeling for. It doesn't exist you can even think to tell to an engineer how he should see the products/things cause your blindness Is the cause Apple does shitty quality products, and since they know It's their weak point, they take advantage of conditions in their warranty programs to screw the the customer (you). This type of people doesn't demonstrate coherence to criticize someone else's thinking, so live in your Little world and shut up! You have what you deserve; pay a lot to solve nothing, but leave in peace Who doesn't want to do the same.
Anto G Well as a PhD candidate in engineering at an R1, I can assure you that OP is full of BS. Steve Wozniak is a genius and revolutionized the personal computer using innovative circuitry with the Apple I and some Atari games. You can hate Apple today but saying the Apple 1 was poorly designed makes 0 sense. If that was the case Apple would have never grown as it did. Furthermore, a ton of innovation with the GUI and usability happened on the mac.
It’s one thing to disagree with the direction Apple took or dislike their current hardware, but denying the impact it had is a whole new level of BS hating.
@@diverman1023 don't make confusion, i'm an engineer and i lived the transformation of seeing something with "new eyes". I replied to the post in which someone who demonstrates to don't have the instruments to criticize products (the customer "eye") tells to someone who can have the instruments to see critically "you're wrong, i'm right", asking about the age and other things which are useless in this topic (attacking firstly the person, not what have been added to the discussion). This Is the attitude which create confusion. You've done the right thing; in synthesis you said: "i don't share what Richard said cause i see those things which make me say that It was well designed." There was an argumentation and you did It without attacking the person, this Is how a constructive discussion Is. Also you replyed to something old (Apple I), i was talking about something newer (post 2008), so don't make confusion; about Apple I, talk directly to Richard, about Apple post 2008 i can participate to the discussion, about what i've said to Kevin don't name Apple cause the subject was the attitude to demonstrate a critical thinking, which Kevin doesn't have; the fact It was defending Apple was a plus, if he tried to defend another brand in the same way i could write something very similar.
@@diverman1023 anyway, what today happens demonstrates that the consensus doesn't come only After quality, so i can say that the reasons Apple has grown so much aren't only in the potential of the Apple I (also because all the big party people who didn't help Apple to grow up, i don't remember specifically the names of the the reference of the PC market, but i remember that most of them didn't accept to help Apple, cause they also didn't see sufficient potential in their project). I don't think these people were stupids and i understand what Richard could have think: something these big names could have think also. So, Apple surely had success but the reasons aren't so simple to find and understand...
I knew apple wasnt the best, but I never imaged it was that bad.

Oh it's even worse
@@IStMl Steve pls come back one way or another

Honestly, and I’m not excusing the people who got screwed over, but it’s always a very small % if units that have failures in their normal lifespan. OP’s job means he encounters these machines every day, but that doesn’t mean it’s widespread. In my experience macs last way longer than any windows laptop I owned.
Mat Well first of all, I don’t think it’s fair that you put an aura of ease of use “toys” around the mac, because it’s a very versatile OS that’s extensively used by the majority of STEM researchers, many experts in their field. The beauty of it is that a text editor, developer and researcher can all feel like it was tailored to their use. And in any case, don’t you think it’s fine if people want a stable experience with a phone and computer? There is nothing wrong with people wanting to pay a few extra hundred bucks to not get a blue screen if they can afford it. They’re good phones and good computers.
Second, I have used many, many computers. In my personal experience, Apple products have lasted significantly longer. I’m not denying that they make engineering mistakes, I just personally have never encountered these “widespread” failures with extensive use and my family members either with simple use. This is why a lot of Apple costumers, when they hear all the time that macs are shit that have widespread issues, respond this way.
Regarding the video, he’s a repair man that is constantly exposed to broken macs, so the failure points become apparent. He also makes most of his popularity with videos that paint a negative view of Apple.
What numbers do you have regarding the number that fail? A few forum posts and people bringing it in his shop isn’t enough to paint an accurate picture considering the millions of units sold.
I bought a Macbook Pro in the year 2000. It was the first generation of the so called 'aircraft aluminium' and supposedly milled from a solid piece of that aluminium. I think it cost well over £2400, which back then was a Kings ransom. On slotting a disc into the player I found that it would not eject the disc, caused by a misalignment between the player and the milled slot on the case. The only way I could remove the disc after pressing eject was to insert a very thin pair of tweezers into the slot and pull the disc out far enough to get my fingers on it. I explained my problem over the phone to the apple store, who were then based in ireland, and asked for a replacement laptop. They informed me that under no circumstances would they give me a replacement and my only option was...
1. Return the laptop by post to their store at my expense.
2. Wait a minimum of 8 weeks from the date they received the laptop for a decision and/or repair.
3 Pay a small charge for the return postage, and a second larger charge if they found no problem with my laptop.
At that point I informed them that there was a second option. Because of UK laws I was entitled to a full refund, with them reimbursing the postage I paid to return it to them. I did this and the following year (2001)went out and bought a Sony Vaio laptop for over £1200 less with higher spec. This ran Windows XP and lasted over 10 years and the only expense I ever went to was to double the ram and fit a larger hard drive later in it's life. It's now in a cupboard somewhere and would probably still start up and work fine if I tried it.
I then vowed never to buy another product from Apple, and have kept my word. To this day I wouldn't piss on Apple if they were on fire.
I thought the 2000 Macbook Pro had the little hole by the drive where you could insert a paper clip to eject it... I could be wrong... Was a long time ago... No I'm sure it did have that option...
IMO Apple's undoing was when the iMacs caught on like wildfire and they decided to put style over substance and put a premium price tag on less-than-premium hardware.
@@MementoMori-xx5qo (No hate) haven't seen? There is well built windows laptops, with the same kind of aluminum body (they're more rare ofc) but example new(ish) Dell XPS series could be pretty close. *some new MacBooks have that problem, if you close and open the screen (laptop ofc) the" screen flex cable" will broke in matter of time because the cable is too short...( and Apple's engineering is only the reason why its happening( "its your fault" is their idea behind that.)

Nice video, I like how you not only discussed the problems , but showed the exact design failures in real life and explained where Apple failed to back their own products up.
This reminds me of issues I see daily in auto repair, where the manufacture knows for a fact they have a design failure, but instead blames the customer or pretends it is normal wear and tear.
And Apple's LATEST engineering failure is putting an Intel Core i9 in a thin 2018 MacBook Pro. Cooling is so poor that the i9 can't even maintain its BASE clock speed under heavy load due to thermal throttling. This means the premium you pay for the i9 gives you LESS performance than the i7 version in some cases!
YEAH! The last masterpiece.
S
Its not actually the core i9 that is getting to hot, but the driver chips that provide the power to the i9 cpu, and that is why this macbook is throttling down the speed, those chips can't compete with the "power hungry" i9 chip, so the chip doesn't receive its full power because the drivers are boiling themselves of the board, this macbook will die in about 13 to 14 months, and many will think it is a dead cpu while the actual problem are those boiling driver chips, and these chips are made by apple and nobody can provide those, so apple has made a unfixable machine again that will fail in a very short amount of time, unless repair shops can get their hands on donor boards, but the i9 model is simply to new
kevin12567 ya the i9 is something that would be used in a desktop because it needs a water cooling system
and thats what they were working on for 2 years
you don't need water cooling for an i9, matter of fact is that air coolers are actualyl better for cooling, water cooling is actually less efficient than air cooling, it's just quieter.
My HP laptop had 2 drinks spilled on it, was in a house fire and got hosed down, dropped down the stairs while on, and managed to last 10 years. The screen backlight would eventually start to flicker occasionally, or not turn on with the laptop itself after 8 years. Recently, when I tried to get something from it, after 12 years, it finally wouldn't boot. It was a 540$ machine and it served me very well for a long time. And even spent years of its life playing games, working hard.
I have a samsung notebook that my parents gave to me in 2011. It was slow already in 2011, with a simple pentium dual core and 4 gigs of ram. I remember the laptop struggled to run cs go but I still gamed a lot in it. I did everything I could so I could use it far beyond its potential. I have a picture using an external monitor, cooler, external mouse and keyboard, headphones etc and there I was happy as I could be. I eventually upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM and put an SSD on it and it still works perfectly whilst being almost 10 years old. I just recently opened it to clean it and it's still a laptop I use just to watch videos or something
I've also got a HP laptop that was puchased before my daughter was born. Shes 10 now, and that cheap laptop still works fine.
I've heard a story of a person accidentally dropping their Lenovo Thinkpad from the rafters of a stage. They picked it up and it was still running, no damage other then some scuffs. with a macbook the screen would probably be separated from the computer.
Ok. But it isn't said that a Mac can't do the same. I have been an Apple user since the Apple II which my father brought home. And i have never had any issues with any Mac i purchased. And i purchased a lot of Apple products over time (several releases and sizes in iMac's, several releases and sizes in MacBook and MacBook Pro's, several releases and sizes iPhones and iPads). And i even own a 12 inch MacBook 2017 with butterfly keyboard which i use daily and no issues with the butterfly keyboard. So having an HP, Samsung or Lenovo does not mean that they can't have similar issues as well. Ok, Apple could have handled warranty and service better. But it is often also Apple bashing by mainly Windows users who never even used an Apple device. And my girlfriend has had many Windows notebooks by Acer, Asus, HP and Lenovo. And they all had issues. I installed Windows on a 2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch for my girlfriend which runs a lot faster with Windows then any Windows notebook from that time and over time there is always the issue that Windows will start to run slower. And she can't figure out how macOS works which is a lot easier to use than Windows IMHO. But Windows users are so stuck in the Windows way of working that they can't figure out how to work with macOS. I can do both but i ditched Windows years ago. Because despite all the Apple bashing Windows still sucks when you use it over a longer period of time. It gets slower. And macOS just does not. So every manufacturer be it hardware or software has faults. Not only Apple but also HP, Samsung, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, etcetera. And some of these companies also lack in warranty and service.
When they start manufacturing quantities in the millions, there must be some kind of cap or curve that shows what percentage of these products will fail over time or in specific parts. My guess is both PC and APPLE are obligated to a kind of CHAOS function that results in failures at a certain percentage. You make billions of M&Ms and maybe ther'll ba a percent of packets with all geens, all reds etc., and all else ok. But with pcs and macs, with thousands of parts (thousands of m&ms in one machine, that failure rate soon appears). I've used APPLE since the original mactintosh. Only recently since 2017, have I started seeing these types of failures. My next machine will be a Dell or Lenovo? and will compare. While traveling in Asia, I dropped my iphone 7 on cobblestone in the RP, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF sidewalk repair setups for pc's, cellphones, gaming hardware in the philippines. Took my iphone there asked for a price, $25 to replace screen 3rd party, $45 for new Apple screen. Not bad I thought and I didn't bargain. Iphone still works. My Huawei is also still solid, but Android sucks is all I can say about that.
I'm not technological-wizard, but I used to be really into computer hardware. I built my own PC, and have a pretty good understanding of specs. I've despised Apple for years now.
I wish I could remember which laptop it was specifically, but I remember looking at one of their computers that was made in 2017, sold for over $2,000, and the thing had specs equivalent to a cheap smartphone. I'm talking 4G of ram, and this absolutely terrible dual core processer.
It was in that moment that I truly grasped just how fucking awful they are. Selling what's essentially a $300 computer for the price of a used car.
My 2013 MacBook air 11” has those same specs :/
Needless to say, I’ve been planning on switching to pc once I have the money.
(The laptop was a Christmas present several years ago)
Kasai i dont know my sister has a macbook air from the 13 or 14 and it might not be a beast but it is very durable. We fling that thing across the room and nothing would happen to it.On the other hand, I got a hand me down iphone 7 and that shit is flimsy and unreliable.
Mali Kali yeah, mines been dropped a few times and it’s got dents but it still works
Mali Kali Huh. I’ve dropped my iPhone 7 from the first floor and it doesn’t have any issue. Jailbroken with checkra1n too. I love this phone.
No Name for most people, the audio fizzles out after a while because some audio chip got loose. The problem happens to a lot of these iphone 7s so as far as apple products go; the iphone 7 and 7 plus aren’t reliable.
The worst part of all of this is not Apple's faulty designs or engineering errors, not even the way they treat their customers, late recalls and GPU warranty fixes only if the machine boots, but the fact that other companies are copying both the shitty designs and the shitty behaviour of Apple, spreading the cancer across the whole consumer electronic product segments. No EOM spares, no recalls, and a "it should last only 2 years" mentality. Apple is dangerous for us repairers and for all the segment everywhere. Support the right to repair. Support freedoom.

Exactly, and to go even further: Every industry, even before Apple was around, takes advantage of the system they run on. Freedom of choice is always there, but the obstacles to get started or even survive with a new/competing product are stifling (cable industry comes to mind). We can pass the blame around to whomever, the point is there is always this problem, and I'm with Louis about looking into solutions. Not just for consumer electronics, but business- and customer-handling as a whole.
The new XPS from Dell are designs rip off of Dell and are actually better XD However, no matter how much you prove, you come out with fact, you do whatever logics you want, the power of Apple's marketing and brand will always shade this. Making people think they have the best product is more powerful than having the best product overall. And I agree with you and since I, being myself an independent technician, refused to work on Apple products my life has got easier.
Luckily, certain countries (like Norway) have laws that protect customers from the "it should last only 2 years" mentality (to a certain degree) Here's a direct excerpt from The Consumer Purchases Act in Norway:
"If an item is defective, the consumer must, within a reasonable period of time after he or she discovered or should have discovered the defect, notify the seller that he or she intends to submit a formal complaint with respect thereto. The deadline for submitting a complaint can never be shorter than two months from the point at which the consumer discovered the defect.
Any complaint must be submitted no later than two years after the consumer took possession of the item. If, when in normal use, the item or any part thereof is meant to last substantially longer, the deadline for submitting a complaint is five years. This does not apply as long as the seller, by means of a guarantee or other agreement, has assumed liability for defects over a longer period."
Phones and laptops are actually examples of items that are meant to last longer than two years. So you have 5 years protection against defects (like some of those Rossmann mentioned in the video)
I think that's pretty awesome.
Thankfully we can build our own PCs so at least Windows/Linux users don't have to put up with shitty company policies. And if you can afford an expensive laptop, then you have the option of getting a customisable Clevo laptop (or equivalent) from a reputable computer store.
To be clear, none of that are faulty product, error, or mistake. All of that are feature, feature whose sole purpose is to make more money for stakeholder. And it work beautifully.
Elepole Eolis good ole Bethesda excuse except it works for them lol
Lol only apple could sell a product with a fatal flaw and call it a feature. I know your just making fun of them but honestly they could probably legitimatelly tell people its a feature and they would buy it knowing its going to break and tell all their friends "its just a feature" lol.
Per Karlsson I think you have your time off a little bit, I think you mean 10+ months, unlike many competitors that last around an average of 5 years based on either user error, the screen hinges breaking, or just simply becoming outdated.
Per Karlsson tell that to my friend that have speaker problem on his macbook only in his 2nd year of usage
I trust Louis Rossmann and Linus Tech Tips, It is great that you have had a good user experience and your devices are still fine I am truely happy for you but I'll never get one based off the vast majority of poor owner experiences both from what I have read and seen online via credible sources like LTT and LR but also from friends and their experiences.
All of my friends that once were Apple fanatics have since moved to Android and Windows based products many years ago. Usually just 1 owner experience is all it took them to make the switch.
There is no reason for Apple to make their batteries "non replaceable" at all other than to intentionally make the product performance decline so you buy a new phone. Just a small example of their b.s. they pull.
I'm 45, I have never owned anything made by Apple and it will stay that way.
Same age and same situation. ;)
I'm 32 and I won't own another crapple product .I had one iPhone 5 for a few years and I hated how limited it was in so many areas... especially the fixed storage...I hated it.
Why? That's bigoted.
38, same here. Forget about the overpricing or the cringe hype, to me it was enough that the music you put on the ipod was locked for me to despise the sheep around me who thought that was acceptable.
My thought at 16: You don't want me to use you, do you? Ok then I won't, I like my stuff to be useful.
Apple breaks their users hands just so they can hold their phone.
Apple users: "harder, and break my legs while you're at it."
I am a mechanic in australia and your opening statement is exactly the same case with Crappy European and Australian built cars.
I am an independent service tech and have been for over 20 years making quality repairs and servicing desktops and laptops of various brands EXCEPT Apple. I do not live in an area that is host to a large number of video or graphics professionals who woefully depend upon these devices to meet deadlines and earn a living. I totally agree with your points that not only are the Apple laptop devices designed with obsolescence in mind but also serviceability locked to Apple certified technical staff (and OEM replacement parts). Therefore I refer any potential Apple clients back to Apple for repairs or suggest a different brand that is serviceable from an economical and open source bin of OEM replacement parts.
I can tell from your free videos that you have a genuine concern for your clients and will make a reliable repair to get these people back to their vocation and for that I take my hat off to you. Yes, even at my ripe old age, 65+ now, I learn from your experiences. You qualify your distrust of Apple with facts not just negative rhetoric. Keep up the good work Louis Rossmann, the world needs more people like you!
Except he's wrong and presents distorted facts to fit his narrative. Apple devices have the lowest average failure rates in the industry and are supported for the longest with software updates. Thus they have the highest 2nd hand resale value. Enjoy.
@@AndyMilne The iphone 6 had a higher failure rate than even the cheapo alcatel line, which would be covered by even Walmart warranty. So, that's money back or in-store credit. Several laptops boast way more features than the macbooks, beating them in every single aspect, aside from smaller touch pads, with much lower failure rates(see toshiba and asus) at a fraction of the cost! If something went wrong (which obviously was rare), you could exchange them if it was within usually 2 years. No scams, no fuss! So, average price range, average warranty, average failure rates kinda puts them in the area of scammy but that's okay, you gotta climb over people to get to the top.
Amen to that.

I am so happy to live in The Netherlands, where you can actually legally hold a company liable on an individual basis instead of class action suits. We just have a law that requires vendors to replace/repair a part/product if the initial cost of it, suggests a certain longevity.
I'm all for that, we have an administration now that is gutting all consumer protections.
I've been to said Netherlands and can confirm; these guys are great, really
I am pretty sure than that law is tyrannical.
Okay, but consumers end up paying for those costs. I’m guessing computers are far more expensive in the Netherlands than the U.S. The manufacturers and retailers just spread out the costs into higher computer prices.

Don't forget that Apple also owns Beats by Dre. Known for their bad (for the price range) audio quality and absolutely terrible durability.
The Chillmaster That is true, but even still. When a reviewer gets a pair of beats headphones, they almost always say it has that "beats sound" (not really a good thing, but it might suit some people's taste) and they recommend to be careful with them since the headphone band can't bend much. In my opinion, beats still need a hardware redesign/boost.
They kind of inherited that problem though
they could try and fix it
Quality is not bad (I've got Beats solo) but they definitely overpriced. No microphone (they're not full headset) it's something they do not advertise. It just uncomfortable when somebody is calling...
The Chillmaster they only got better because as time passes,audio quality gets better. Not because Apple is any good. Any company's headphones get better sound quality for the price as time passes.

We had to sit them on rack mount shelves, taking up much more room in the rack then it should. Had to design/get... custom made rack mount hardware for them, sometimes. This is what I thought and said when they came out first...what was Apple thinking when they conjured up this design?

Apple makes a great operating system. The best part of Apple is that it’s based off of Unix. For a closer version of Unix install home brew. One of the things I truly love about Apple is mission control. I’ve tried Windows task viewer and I really don’t like it with dual monitors. I still don’t like their hardware and I’m still using a Mac mini 2011 and a MacBook Pro 2012 because I don’t like their soldered ram or soldered SSD. They could have easily upgraded the removable ram on the Mac mini to potential 64 gigs of ram and kept the two bays for 2.5 inch drives or added m.2 SSD dockets, but no they want to make their machines in fixable so if the ram or ssd go back a whole logic board has to be replaced. The best Macs are the hackintosh ones, although there days maybe numbered with the ARM processor design.
Apple doesn't make thier own OS. OSX and iOS are based on FreeBSD. It's a split of the code that they keep updating with new features as FreeBSD releases them then drops their own features on top of. They write a pretty wrapper for it and add in some proprietary stuff on top. The core OS, Apple has never written. Just get that out of your head right now. Apple hasn't written an OS in decades. What Apple creates are what Linux people would call Distributions. A lot of the big under the hood advances come from FreeBSD, not Apple. Here's the real kicker though. All those proprietary Apple connections. Apple HAD to write those themselves. FreeBSD comes out of the box with support for all the industry standards. To create all those things Apple had to set out with the goal of not using standards they already had all the work done for them on and decide to create those proprietary Apple products just to screw customers. It gets worse. Apple purposely removed shell access from the consumer so consumers could not go in and reenable FreeBSD features Apple didn't want them to have. Say what you want about Microsoft. They've expanded shell access. Apple straight up removes it.
@@halycon404 No wonder why homebrew is so popular. Yeah I definitely need to play more with Powershell on Windows. If windows could only something better for dual monitors like apple does mission control I think I would use windows more. I would love for microsoft and Linux to beat Apple. I haven't played with FreeBSD except of course the little bit on Apple. I have played with the Raspberry Pi 4 for of Debian Im not sure how that compares to Debian. One of the great things about Linux is that you can run it on practically any hardware. There is no you have to get a new phone or a new computer with pure Linux.
@@jonny777bike Android is based on Linux. There's a low spec mode to turn off all the pretty graphical party tricks and some of the bells and whistles. In which case it runs on anything, it's also more stable than the full feature version we use. For pure usability us rich folks chasing the newest and best phones get the worst version. There's a reason Android phones pretty much have 90% of the global market. Apple is only a concern in the richest countries. There's entire continents where Apple is less than 1%. Globally Google and Microsoft won the consumer space, it isn't even close. And Linux won in server space, even Microsoft runs a lot of its infrastructure on Linux.
ive never owned an apple product nor do i care, but im still pissed for some reason
...what's hilarious is that I totally "get" that! I'm pissed, too.
years ago i had a girlfriend who got me a iphone for my birthday. I needed a new phone, i broke mine a few days before.. She is no longer my girlfriend.
My only Apple product is an iPod that I got as a gift like 6-7 years ago. And it already had at least 2 owners before me. It still works fine, aside from the "adjust volume" buttons on the side not working anymore and the "power" button needs to be pressed hard for it to work. Screen is shattered but still works (dropped it around a million times over the years). So all in all, that's pretty good for a portable device. My android phone only lasted 2 years before I dropped it one too many times and it stopped turning on.
But still, the android had so much better functionality. I could use it as usb drive, I could easily put in and switch SD cards, installing apps was easier, putting music (or movies or any media) onto it didn't require a program (iTunes), and putting music (or again movies etc...) didn't require you to have an exact copy of your library on your PC (otherwise the missing files from your pc will also be deleted from your iPod for some fucking reason), I could take out the back panel without ease, while the iPod can't be taken apart, the iPod has this stupid Apple USB cable that isn't standard for any other company (and more expensive too), while I had around 10 other cables in my home for my android phone that I could use to charge it or connect it to my pc.... I could go on forever but you get the point.... it just sucks that Apple devices don't have these features which are standard for any other device on the market.....
Same here, never owned an Apple product and i am pissed for a good reason. Apple jacks up the prices, and the rest do the same. So Apple screws over everybody, even non-Apple sheep.
It's called, "being human". Apple can't grasp that concept, because their consumers are sheeps!

You forgot the iPhone slow down scandal. After they got sued, they released an update for my 6S and the phone suddenly started being fast again after months of random shut downs and touch screen malfunctioning.
Edit: I should also mention that my Antutu benchmark score rose from 76000 to 110000 after the update (which is still worse than my initial score of 134000 when the phone was newer)
Heard fanboys say: "Oh no. It's because Apple wants your iPhone to last that's why they slow it down. We have to be so grateful" 🙃
I mean my 6 was slower with the original battery in it. I tried turning off the battery protection and it would shut off around 15-20%. I get why they did it but they should have told people they were doing it.
Not only Antutu score has doubled in like 2015.
Geekbench has also increased iPhone scores with newer versions.
Compare Geekbench 2 to Geekbench 3 and 4 with same devices, and you'll be very surprised.
This is happening with my mother's iPhone 7, replaced the phone twice, won't be doing it a third time.
If you bought this iphone 6 on release date or the same year I still cannot see how this battery could be so horrible. Why they didnt just offer to replace batteries or allow users to replace them is still absurd. Throttling your phones performance because they lock you from changing your battery to me is BS which is why I still only buy phones with removal backing to have the option to replace your battery. Can you imagine if car companies did this? You would be screwed WOW!!

But I watch your videos anyway because you are so damned entertaining and persuasive ... even though all my brand new and 'antique' Apple products are all still working perfectly ... your videos make me almost believe that everyone's Apple products must be malfunctioning on a massive scale ...

In short, crap cables have bad signal integrity which matters immensely when carrying 6 Gb/s signals. The whole of each bit on the wire is just 166 million millionths of a second long. Any kinks, inconsistencies and other crap can cause signal reflections and distortions which destroy the signal.
Even a single bit obliterated by noise of any sort (of which there is an abundance inside a computer) is enough to cause transfers to fail. That's why they're shielded differential pairs, which means each pair has to be matched. It's not like wiring up a light or even old school USB.
Quality matters, and quality costs. Apparently, Apple charge for quality, buy cheap and pocket the difference. Maybe that's why they're worth $900bn. (Profitability and share buy-backs help too, of course.)
You need to get the Impedance correct and make sure whoever's making it doesn't change anything to make themselves more money. You also need to be careful with crosstalk. The Insertion Loss (what you lose by adding something to the signal path) on SATA is (kinda stupidly) low so you also need to make sure you don't eat too much of that. Of course most people are "hey, it seems to work, let's ship" as that's the PC way, alas.
My friend wants to buy an iPhone because she says it proves something for her. Like a status or something.
One of the dumbest reasons I've ever heard.
I know someone who is an apple fanboy and just recently bought was I think was the newest macbook for almost $2000. At first I didnt know he was a fanboy and offered to help him find a laptop/gaming laptop that can quintuple its usefulness and power. He straight up told me that he doesnt need all that because the only thing he does online is browse the internet, I just died inside.
But thats Apple in a nutshell. Its a brand of status as viewed by morons.
Get new friends.
Tell your friend to buy an Android phone, then buy an Apple sticker and stick it on the back. Same look, better phone, way cheaper
Tell her to buy a pair of jeans as well seeing how she’s going for the status of having something that literally everyone else in the world has

@@_wheat856 Buy a new charging base and cable. If this doesn't work, buy a new phone. Not Apple's fault, if you handle it wrong 👀
I remember looking at old Apple product testing where a half melted se30 still worked perfectly. It looked like half melted butter and still worked. Those days are clearly behind us.
Why does any of this surprise anyone? I dont know how many times I have to tell people, Apple DOES NOT make computers, they make fashion accessories
Yes. They're computers for people who don't really need computers. The ad campaign with the Mac and PC Guys was explicitly classist, and positioned Apple as a luxury brand rather than a producer of useful products.
@@pkunkbwok Actually, that's not always the case. I am a PC guy myself. I dislike Apple products, but my mom loves them a lot. She's got, an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac. She uses the latter when she needs to work while traveling, as it is pretty light. She says that that is the main reason why she uses a Mac for this.
Also, guess who gets stuck with troubleshooting an unfamiliar system when something goes wrong?

If you work as graphic artist (like me) it's ridiculous how many people still INSIST that you must use a mac because "you can't do graphics on PC".. and when i tell them that i have the exact same adobe software as they have on mac they tell me that it's "much better" on mac because the performance is much better there. And the interface is "better designed". And when i show them benchmarks that my photoshop is faster on PC than on their expensive mac and remind them that the interface is the same on both plattforms they tell me that macs have better monitors and you can't do graphics on a shitty monitor that has "wrong colors". And when i tell them that actually the best monitors aren't from apple but Eizo, Asus or Acer (right now) they usually just tell me to fuck off, that i'm an "ignorant fanboy" and i just can't value good design.
You can't win with facts against the will to believe.
Ask them what graphics card they are using xD I don't treat anyone who uses an apple product seriously, it's a dunce cone on their head.

When a month ago I was looking for a laptop(I'm a digital artist) people kept telling me"You need a Mac!!!111!". Like I'm gonna be retarded enough to waiste 2k$ on a shitty machine with a laughable hardware and a display that needs another 150$ device to be calibrated before being good enough to be used. I need the laptop to work and play games, not to show it off in coffee shops lol
It's not the manufacture of a monitor that determines the 'correctness' of the color, it's the calibration that determines that.
The monitors at the graphical department of my workplace, while from a cheap source, have good color-reproduction due to being calibrated with printing-press color reference sheets instead of relying on the (never accurate) factory settings.
The thing you have to remember is that most (if not all) millennials were raised on Apple and Apple products. In grade schools, then high schools, etc. And they seriously believe that Apple is the best. Maybe someday they'll wake up to the fact that they've been paying out too much money for over-priced, over-hyped, and under-performing devices, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon.
You are truly a blessing in a consumer market like this, holy shit.

so it's easier to defend the decision
yap, exactly!
They made experiences about this. Take two identical products. Put the price of one low, the other high. People will automatically assume the high price product to be better and worthwhile and would buy this one if they have the money.

@Emily Pace Why do you sound so much like a bot?
@Emily Pace good luck getting it repaired, look at Linus Tech Tips and Snazzy Labs for examples of what you can expect. To be fair, you aren't nearly famous enough to get the service that they got.
I'll stick to my modular PC (which as a qualified tech I can repair myself) and an android phone that I can have repaired or replaced locally (had an issue once) and I did have one instance where I had a Sony flagship replaced within the day (in a backwards country like South Africa) I geuss it is a matter of preference.
You should get what you pay for.
I do agree that some of the products that reach the end user has issues that were not picked up during quality checks.
THE FACT IS THOUGH: IF THAT IS THE CASE IT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE PROCESS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED.

Apple is SHIT*
I started a Mac upgrade and repair business in 1985 in Berkeley, CA with my brother and a mutual friend (I was one of the first non-Apple repair people to start fixing the original Macs a few days after their one-year warranties began to expire), and almost from the start, I began seeing many of the same problems described in the video. I had to fix a lot of Apple's design and poor choice of parts problems, and I had to deal with Apple's lack of cooperation with independent repair and upgrade companies. I dealt with these problems the entire time I repaired Macs until I closed up shop in 2008, which is where this video picks up the history, showing that may of the same issues continued.
I've seen figures over the years indicating that Apple products, on average (for whatever that's worth), fail somewhat less often than those from most other manufacturers, and that more people are satisfied with Apple's repair efforts than with those by some other companies, but that doesn't excuse the huge raft of unforced design, assembly, and poor choice of parts errors (deliberate or not) by Apple over the years, and it especially doesn't excuse Apple's frequent hassling, seemingly at random, of many people attempting to get their hardware repaired. While most people have a good experience when they need Apple to do a repair, with some people even getting newer-model hardware, at no cost, in exchange for their older damaged hardware, some people report some of the most bizarre nonsense they've been put through--pointless repeated repair attempts before Apple will allow a proper repair to be done, etc. Apple's performance has been oddly inconsistent. This can often be chalked up to differences in skills by different Apple employees, but much of the weird inconsistency originates at Apple. One of the things that particularly irked me was Apple's practice of claiming that a problem you would call in to report to them was an "unknown problem" even when the problem was being seen by hundreds or thousands of other people, and had been the subject of online discussions and articles for some time.
Apple has long engaged in the practice of frequently replacing parts (mainly logic boards, in my experience) that have design and production flaws, with parts that have the same design and production flaws since they were made in the same production runs, and so many of those parts eventually fail too, often pretty quickly after they've been installed. It seems that Apple often wants to use up its existing inventory of repair parts, even if those parts were made at the same time as the bad parts that went into finished products, before it will make a revised batch of parts for repair inventory and finished products.
Powerbook display hinges were among the worst annoyances. I have no idea why for about ten years, Apple designed major parts of the hinges out of plastic that not only wasn't very strong, but also had stress points--sharp angles and corners--where force applied to the hinges over time, as the display was opened and closed numerous times, was focused and eventually caused cracks at these points. With the Powerbook G4, though most of the hinge parts were finally made of metal, only the right-side hinge (as viewed from the front), on earlier models, was screwed entirely to metal support pieces--the left hinge was screwed into the rear of the plastic border that wrapped around the vertical sides of the top case, and this plastic often eventually broke at a narrow point near the hinge (which seemed like a deliberate stress point to me), leaving you with a bad hinge. Sometimes even the L-shaped aluminum pieces that were the main connection between the hinges and the display housing would break, as if they (and some of the Powerbook G4's other metal pieces) were made out of some cheap kind of "pot aluminum". Also with some of the Powerbook G4 models, Apple introduced the stupid practice of gluing the display bezel to the display's top cover, requiring repairs to almost anything inside the display housing to be preceded by using a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the glue so you could take the housing apart, while you worried about whether the heat was going to cook the display.
But I'll also add that since 1985, I've had numerous Mac desktops and laptops, an original iPhone, an iPhone 3GS, an iPhone 4s, and now an iPhone 6s, and the only Apple products that have failed on me were two or three Powerbook G3's, which seemed to develop various logic board problems. So, people's experiences vary. The bottom line is that Apple has too many unforced errors in their designs and build quality over the years, and in how they handle many repairs, which they could have easily avoided by just not making obvious mistakes and not embracing the form of planned obsolescence that involves designing and building things so that they break.
People always say that you only see the ones that have problems but when you have a reoccurring problem. Well I don't think that's a coincidence.
That was the most in depth comment I’ve ever seen on a video and WOW ... how is this company getting away with this? People keep buying their garbage.
Maybe they make the products purposely weak so you extend your warranty and then extend it for every product you buy from them because your thinking will go like this "hmm should I extend my warranty?I mean I broke my Mac in the past so I probably should"

God damn this channel is so good. The sheer information dump and tangible proof and expertise you provide here is really a delight to see on youtube.
K2theAblam but the information dump is easy to understand
I will never understand why people buy Apple products. I've been using PC since around 2004, and yes, some of computers I've bought have been terrible. But the beauty of PC is that for desktops (and certain laptops) you can just replace whatever sucks because the unit is basically just a shell. And if you don't like the Windows operating system you can replace that too, just switch to Linux. Hell, you can even run macOS on a PC if you're so inclined.
You will never understand because you don't buy or own any of the apple product. Simple as butter! Isn't ?
