> For me it's always been about repairability and expandability and Apple has gotten worse in that respect over time.

Apple Plus is amazing, I broke my macbook and they gave me a loner on the spot and I got it back in full working order later.

I wouldn't buy any Apple product without it. Had a similar experience with an iPhone where they just gave me a new one straight up.

It’s a pretty expensive service offering that you have to buy on top of a pretty expensive laptop.

AppleCare+ has a hard cap and runs out at 3 years.

No matter how great it is, that’s a very short amount of time.

  • Untrue. At least in the US you can either sign up for an annual plan that continues until you cancel it or you can extend the 3 year plan in annual increments.
