Seeing people weirdly are saying “Apple products have always been bad quality and not durable” and no, that’s absolutely not the case. Amongst many other things I’ve an Apple computer literally from the 1970s and it still works fine (everything is factory).

Quality-wise Apples offerings maintain their use value incredibly long.

People are still using 2013 MacBook Airs in 2026. They're slow as hell, but they aren't broken.

Also durability and design flaws are two entirely different things.

I have beat my 3rd gen iPod senseless in the 20 years I’ve had it. I recently swapped the hard drive out for a flash drive and it’s still going perfectly strong. I’ve done it with a lot of iPods actually. And repainted/re-engraved them. joshuagraves.me/making/tinke...

Even in modern Apple that isn't the case. I'm sitting here using a 1st gen iPad that's still 100% functional and the battery life is still super strong, I can run emulators and read books on it. I have iPod Classic and iPhone 4s that are still functioning perfectly.

I've always thought that Apple products are like thoroughbreds - high quality but high strung. For clumsy me that doesn't work - I rely on cruder, sturdier machines
