The downvotes might be because you responded to a request for more detail with:

> I don't think I need to explain what those are...

Why don't you humor us and give some examples anyways?

This is just one example, In general when Apple hardware fails from any kind of defect, one of two things happens:

1. They blame the customer and suggest replacing large portions of the computer (unnecessarily) at such a high cost as to justify recommending buying a new machine.

2. In the rare cases they have been publicly pressured into admitting fault, they will replace parts with newer parts with the same defect and repeat this cycle until out of warranty or the customer just gives up.

For the cases where the user is to blame for damage, #1 is also applied, this would not be such an issue if Apple wasn't also lobbying against independent repair shops and seizing their parts under false claims of trademark violations.

They are deceitful... there is no way around it.


I didn't downvote, but yeah, not sure what the poster is getting on about.

Personally, I think Apple is significantly different than the other company with respect to customer data, etc.

Apple Pay, iOS vault, etc., come to mind.
