Tougher Components, Better Repairability
Some people like the butterfly keyboard, some people hate it. But nobody likes it when it fails — which it is notoriously prone to doing. That goes for the flex display cable, too. It is imperative that Apple revamps these components so that the failure rate is low enough that the vast majority of consumers won’t experience them.
But all components used on electronics, given enough time, can fail. Because of that, Apple should reverse course and make its devices more easily repairable. Sure, fully user-repairable Macs aren’t likely, but fixing a faulty display cable shouldn’t have to involve replacing the entire display unit. Out-of-warranty users don’t deserve $500+ repair costs.
