Apple launches Self-Repair program for MacBook's. The prices are hilarious.

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.

    Apple has really mastered the art of PR stunts lol
  • 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...

    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
  • I just listen for the little extra one liners lmao... lupe blows a lot of stuff Hahahahahaha!

    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

    Why wouldn't Apple sell a battery seperate? Because then you won't buy a new laptop when you're battery dies 🤣
  • @fexcelix
    I love your videos. So educational and entertaining
  • 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 😅

    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.
  • @radfaraf
    They should sell a $300 battery removal kit and an $80 battery.

    I replaced the screen with it. Ended up being half the price the Genius Bar quoted me.

    Very environmental friendly behavior from Apple!

    I’ve traded in my macbook for a gift card and bought a framework laptop.
