Devil's advocate: sell replacement drop-in boards and reuse the chassis.

Are they still fusing displays into lids on the "pro" level MacBook?



Or better yet, sell the stacked SOC + RAM modules. Any good repair shop can replace BGA devices.

Apple's response if regulators push for that: "Sure, that'll be 1600$ for the board please. (on an 1800$ new machine). Oh, and BTW, the board is paired to your iCloud account so you can't then re-sell it on the used market, for your own protection of course. You're welcome."


The topic was what Apple would do voluntarily if they cared about the environment.
