Apple uses spite to force planned obsolescence.
Louis Rossmann
Louis Rossmann argues that Apple designs and supports its products in ways that force planned obsolescence and obstruct independent repair. He draws on his experience repairing MacBooks and campaigns for right to repair.
HN cites Rossmann for documentation of Apple's repair barriers, and some commenters credit him with changing their view of Apple. Others criticize the design choices he describes.
