Apple just launched a $599 MacBook โ roughly the price of a smartphone.
Design trends like soldered storage, repair restrictions, and non-transferable AppleCare+ warranties were already pushing modern MacBooks toward becoming semi-disposable devices โ and adding to the e-waste problem.
And nowโฆ?
I made a short documentary about it:

#MacBookNeo #RightToRepair
Breaking: The 3-year transferable #Applecare plan has now been fully phased out (along with the resell values of high-end MacBooks, for those who like to upgrade every year or 2). Non-transferable subscriptions are now the new normal for authoritarian #Apple Corp...
So NOW is a good time to follow my brand new #FreeYourMac Facebook page, where i will be posting full details, and even some work-arounds ๐ท https://t.co/atA4Buzcdx
dark-comedic commentary upon the dilemma of exploitative labor, alongside Appleโs controversial exemption from top tier China tariffs (while smaller companies without armies of lobbyists are put out of business) #tariffsonChina#iphone17#appleintelligence@FreeYourMac
The world's richest company needs more of your money! After years of crippling the #Mac for profit maximization, well, now they're starting to restrict the #Applecare Plus warranty, by starting to phase out the transferable pre-paid Applecare in favor of non-transferable subscription Applecare only. This will hurt many types of consumers who like to get top dollar selling off their old computer with transferable Applecare, and will drive more people to trade-in their old Mac to Apple (for insultingly low offers).
The warranty issue was the final straw.
And those who bought an #iPhone16 for the #AppleIntelligence that won't deliver until the #iPhone17, Apple should give you a rebate.
We can't trust them anymore.
I can no longer support the world's greediest corporation. https://t.co/BOc9i3f1WP
This is APPLEโs quietest and BIGGEST SLAP IN THE FACE TO CONSUMERS in their company's history: Their main goal here is to kill off the transferable pre-paid warranty and switch everybody to non-transferable subscriptions, and thereby handicap the private resell market for pre-owned Macs (and iPhones), because: Who wants to pay top dollar for a used device that's so expensive to fix outside of warranty? and/but Apple is happy to take your trade-in device for credit towards a new device (at famously low offers for anything other than a base model). Its no wonder that they're the world's richest company! Good time to switch to PC, or... register your complaint to https://t.co/5zQsy7TvCl

A notable change coming to AppleCare+ next week: Apple is dropping the 2-3 year pay in advance option at physical retail stores and on devices and will only offer monthly and annual subscriptions. Youโll still be able to get those multi-year plans on the online store.
the point is to kill off the transferable pre-paid warranty and switch everybody to non-transferable subscriptions, and thereby handicap the private resell market for pre-owned Macs (and iphones), since Apple is happy to take your trade in for credit towards a new Mac (at famously low offers for anything other than a base model)

The tragic LA fires hurried the launch of our brand new channel @AppTifa with a controversial remake of one of Los Angeles' most iconic classic tracks. For those who suffered loss of house and home, we owe it to them to fully investigate the politics that led to such a slow disastrous response; and to resist the current regime's visions for LA 2.0
