Well the people on this forum make everything way more dramatic that is actually is on the grand scheme of things but I’m guessing with each passing day and more and more people starting to be affected that it will become a replacement warranty extension.
Not if it affects you.
Yes, but until then, people have to spend a boatload of money, In the grand scheme of things, this is yet another problem that will cost owner dearly.
Yes and no
Are the keyboard issues taking years to show themselves? No
I couldn't find any statistics on laptops specifically. Additionally no corporation including apple reports sales of specific models, we need to take the entire sales. Regardless, the numbers are telling, Lenovo is selling over 3 times what Apple is selling. So to answer your first question based on the data that I found, Apple is far down the list of computer sales compared to others, in some respect by quite a bit
You're right and Apple sells only three distinct models with various flavors. I would think with a smaller number of models to work on, Apple would have less problems not more. That is, they can focus more attention on only a handful of models.
No idea, any statement would be pure conjecture. I will concede the point if you provide data to back up the supposition that Mac users don't upgrade as often as PC users.
That's the issue I have in all honesty. The cost of a base 15" (not upgrades) is NOT 2,400 but rather 2,778 because people are compelled to buy the extended warranty.
other brands have dozen different models b/c they cover the whole price spectrum, I.E cheap, medium, and expensive
Apple probably sells more high end computers than all other makers combined. Are we talking about Microsoft who’s surface books had return rates of 20% in 90 days and some of the highest failure rates in the industry? Or razer who sells just a small bunch of laptops which are traditionally plagued by heat issues? Dell seems to be doing fine with XPS line, even though their forums are also full of complaining users (issues with GPU, coil whine etc. etc.).
You're just making excuses for apple. I do grant you that people do complain, however saying apple isn't bad because others are just as bad seems like you're trying to rationalize apple's failure to roll out a machine without major problems.
customers are looking into buying another product, there is a problem.When loyal
How is flexgate or the butterfly keyboard a software design
When people have to pay a lot of money to have the display panel replaced because of flexgate, I would say that's pretty bad, or before the repair program, many people had to pay for the entire topcase. Thankfully Apple instituted a repair program. Both of those issues seem pretty bad. I remember how so many people made excuses for apple with the keyboard, marginalizing the problem and saying its the users fault, i.e., not being clean. Only when the problem became more widespread, with class action lawsuits and high profile people complaining did apple institute a repair program. I'd say the butterfly keyboard is pretty bad. Flexgate has the potential for 2016, 2017 and maybe 2018 to be pretty bad, though we are only in the early stages of that problem.
Yes, I'm seeing that more and more, and I don't mean just here at MacRumors but out and about.When loyal
to quote bravehart's Longshanks: "they're sheep!"
phone so much she purchased a Imac in 2016. users switched, we might have to pay for OSX upgrades as we did waaaaaay back in 2012 with Mountain Lion.
