But because of this the first one suffers somewhat
Modern Apple devices often cannot boast of good repairability, and some have zero repairability and are even impossible to open without damaging them. It turned out that this is a consequence of the high reliability of the company's products.
Famous blogger Marques Brownlee met with the head of Apple's hardware division, John Ternus, and they also touched on the topic of maintainability.
Ternus stated that Apple intentionally focuses more on the reliability of its products rather than repairability.
It is objectively better for the client to have high reliability. And in the long run, it's better for the planet, because the failure rate has dropped dramatically since we hit those numbers
Ternus added that at a certain level of reliability, you can sacrifice a little maintainability, since the first will compensate for the second.
As for reliability, Brownlee showed the testing processes inside Apple laboratories. It turned out that the company tests more than 10,000 units of one product before launching sales. If any problems arise after launch, the company will add appropriate tests to its testing package for the future.
