That's why I like Apple's vertical integration. If something breaks it's 100% their fault that they need to make right to the consumer, they can't tell you to GTFO and go blame someone else to escape responsibility.

"You're holding it wrong", Steve Jobs to a customer that covered their invisible antenna.

Then can, and will, blame the consumer until forced to acknowledge it, sometimes by a class action lawsuit, like they have many times in the past.

It is nice to be able to replace your cpu, or install new memory, or use expansion slots. Not to mention being able to pick hardware that isn’t locked to a single operating system. For me that’s well worth being liable for installation issues.

It doesn’t sound like the concerns are necessarily installation related?

You mean like the butterfly keyboard in my MacBook Pro 2016, which could be destroyed by a few specs of dust, and took years for Apple to acknowledge?

Like the flex connector on the display that was too short and cracked when you closed the lid?
