- Apple launched their self-repair program for MacBook's and sure enough the prices are as hilarious as we thought they'd be. Want to buy the battery by itself? Not happening! You have to buy the entire top case with the battery glued in. Want to buy some random screw? Sure thing! $5. Want to buy a schematic? Nope! Not happening!
Don't have a screwdriver or suction cup to open the bottom case on your MacBook? Apple's got you covered with their $300 tool kit, or just $50 if you want to rent it. Absolute jokes.
Blame Lupe for the bad camera quality, he was stuck on ultra-wide lens for most of the video. - Komedie
Apple has really mastered the art of PR stunts lol
True
It’s honestly impressive from a business standpoint. From a consumer standpoint, my anus is bleeding and the ground I’m standing on is radioactive from all this waste.
I guessed 249 for battery.
I forgot, this is apple, so you dont even get to buy battery on its own.
That was a trick question, damnit
Also, $5 for basically every part, you can tell someone in apple was fed up with coming with pricing for basic parts and just ctrl+v'd 5 everywhere
Supposedly they will eventually sell the battery by itself. But I’m not holding my breath. And yes hahah this is 100% what happened with the $5 parts everywhere.
Apple designs their repair programs to be unappealing, so customers won't make use of it.
For them, it's only a thing to point to once regulators start to complain about the lack of repair options...
As usual you hit the nail on the head. Well said.
I just listen for the little extra one liners lmao... lupe blows a lot of stuff Hahahahahaha!
I’m so glad you catch these!!!! Our sense of humor is different I swear no one else ever notices hahahaha
Why wouldn't Apple sell a battery seperate? Because then you won't buy a new laptop when you're battery dies 🤣
He was in a mood today 😂
I completely forgot about this video! Can't believe it was 2 years ago, 1000 subscribers back then!
@@SalemTechsperts I’m obsessed with your shorts (the CZcams ones, not the clothing!) and I wanted to see a long form on the recent mac book upgrade. Found these 🤣 watching videos from early in someone’s CZcams career is like looking at their high school photos 💀
Apples “repair program” is just another way to stick it to the customer. They don’t give a drip of piss about anything but lining their pockets. Oh, and about the schematic…. If you search just hard enough you can find them, rumor has it they fall out of trucks sometimes 😅
currently watching through all your videos. In a trade class wanting to work and be trained in IT. Youve gave me and some of my classmates a few laughs. thank you for making these videos
Wow, going from 1k subscribers to 1Mil in a year and a half. Congrats. I love the content BTW.
Thank you! Journey has been wild
I love your videos. So educational and entertaining
Underrated videos 🎥
They should sell a $300 battery removal kit and an $80 battery.
Oh god don’t give them anymore ideas 😂
@@SalemTechsperts that would be an improvement though because that would be admitting it could be replaced, and people would share the free/very cheap way how to do it and then people could use the offical battery!
Got a bit of a shock. I was thinking: can't be more than $200, turns out you need to buy half of the laptop with the battery.
I’ll be honest, I was also surprised at the price, and my expectations were LOW. Let’s just hope they stay true to their word and allow us to replace just the battery in the future.
Bro you're hilarious
Haha 😂 starship troopers. You kill me
I’m doing my part! 🧑🚀 🐜 🔫
I use my 2012 macbook air. For work i have my workstation, but to watch netflix, or suft the web that I5 and 8gigs of ram is beyond enought.
Lmao this dudes hilarious 😂 😂😂
I replaced the screen with it. Ended up being half the price the Genius Bar quoted me.
I’ve traded in my macbook for a gift card and bought a framework laptop.
Very environmental friendly behavior from Apple!
or i can i just go to shenzhen and buy the parts for pennies.
Definitely out of reach for any DIYer.
The program honestly looks like a self funded PR program rather than a repair program.
now get this: AASPs and IRPs pay the same prices for these parts and have to make a profit somehow :)
Honestly real they are so overpriced, also you full length deserve more views
Thank you! I'm going to return to long-form in a bit
Here’s a comment for your little raccoon like hands. How could I not when the greatest tech who ever lived commanded me to. All the likes I can provide for more sister toothbrush action.
