Apple launched their self-repair program for MacBook's and sure enough the prices are as hilarious as we thought they'd be. Want to buy the battery by itself? Not happening! You have to buy the entire top case with the battery glued in. Want to buy some random screw? Sure thing! $5. Want to buy a schematic? Nope! Not happening!
Don't have a screwdriver or suction cup to open the bottom case on your MacBook? Apple's got you covered with their $300 tool kit, or just $50 if you want to rent it. Absolute jokes.
Blame Lupe for the bad camera quality, he was stuck on ultra-wide lens for most of the video.

Apple has really mastered the art of PR stunts lol

True

It’s honestly impressive from a business standpoint. From a consumer standpoint, my anus is bleeding and the ground I’m standing on is radioactive from all this waste.

@kopazwashere 2 года назад

I guessed 249 for battery. I forgot, this is apple, so you dont even get to buy battery on its own. That was a trick question, damnit Also, $5 for basically every part, you can tell someone in apple was fed up with coming with pricing for basic parts and just ctrl+v'd 5 everywhere

@SalemTechsperts 2 года назад

Supposedly they will eventually sell the battery by itself. But I’m not holding my breath. And yes hahah this is 100% what happened with the $5 parts everywhere.

@平和-v1z 2 года назад

Apple designs their repair programs to be unappealing, so customers won't make use of it. For them, it's only a thing to point to once regulators start to complain about the lack of repair options...

@SalemTechsperts 2 года назад

As usual you hit the nail on the head. Well said.

@optimizelogicrepair2784 5 месяцев назад

Apples “repair program” is just another way to stick it to the customer. They don’t give a drip of piss about anything but lining their pockets. Oh, and about the schematic…. If you search just hard enough you can find them, rumor has it they fall out of trucks sometimes 😅

@KZ-ko4vm 2 года назад

Got a bit of a shock. I was thinking: can't be more than $200, turns out you need to buy half of the laptop with the battery.

@SalemTechsperts 2 года назад

I’ll be honest, I was also surprised at the price, and my expectations were LOW. Let’s just hope they stay true to their word and allow us to replace just the battery in the future.

@rysterstech Месяц назад

This is why i dont touch apple products and if i ever open my own shop, i wont be working on them, the hassle and prices arent worth it for either me or the customers.

@warrenmcclure7819 Месяц назад

Apples eco friendly tho! They said it multiple times. They can't lie to us because they love their customers!

@radfaraf 2 года назад

They should sell a $300 battery removal kit and an $80 battery.

@SalemTechsperts 2 года назад

Oh god don’t give them anymore ideas 😂

@radfaraf 2 года назад

@@SalemTechsperts that would be an improvement though because that would be admitting it could be replaced, and people would share the free/very cheap way how to do it and then people could use the offical battery!

@JimAllen-Persona Месяц назад

Gluing the battery is BS. I’ve paid a shop to replace the battery on my 2015 MBP and had it go bad.. fortunately Rossmann repaired it free under warranty. These after market batteries can suck.

@snippystockins Год назад

Why wouldn't Apple sell a battery seperate? Because then you won't buy a new laptop when you're battery dies 🤣

Definitely out of reach for any DIYer. The program honestly looks like a self funded PR program rather than a repair program.

Amazing. A knowledgable person could theoretically buy every part for a single Apple laptop and somehow have to pay more, while supplying the labor to put it together themselves.
