Apple makes somewhat ok hardware hampered by crappy limited software because there is not a lot of imagination going on at Apple.

Summary
- Apple has made several changes over the years that have impacted repairability, but they are now showing support for repair legislation. This video provides a condensed list and explanation of these repair issues, starting from 2009 with the introduction of the pentalobe screw. Other issues include software signing, glued-in batteries, soldered RAM, and paired components like Touch ID and Face ID. Apple's control on repairs has become more aggressive, but they have recently backed a right to repair bill in California.
