Despite the iPhone and business success, I do kind of mourn for the days when their hardware was more reliable. My 2017 Macbook is not nearly as nice as my 2015 model.

Though, as a bit of irony I do like that I can charge my Android phone with my Macbook charger.

My father still use my square white Macbook, it stills work as good as day 1 with the factory battery. I wonder if my 2016 and 2018 MacBook Pro will get the same lifetime, if they does, it's still crazy hardware.

My keyboard broke on my 2017 Macbook and they had to replace the logic board to fix it. I've already broken keycaps on my replacement. I'll be lucky if this thing sees 3 years.

I have family members still happily rocking their 2011 models and I use my 2013 every single day at work. I have no confidence that their latest models will have that type of longevity and will likely switch to Linux when they quit working.
